Guess What Ireland’s President Said About St. Patrick’s Day…
17th March 2026
Irish President Catherine Connolly marked her first St. Patrick’s Day in office with a message that reframed Ireland’s patron saint as a symbol for open borders and ‘global citizenship’, urging the Irish to embrace migrants amid ongoing surges in arrivals that have sparked nationwide tensions.
The last time Ireland had ‘open borders’, it led to 700 years of English occupation and oppression. No, thanks.
