He's coming !!!!
OMG he is on his way to Ireland. Barack Obama will come here the same month as my birthday ( May) . He will visit Moneygall, where his great great great grandfather ( a shoemaker called Kearney) is from. In the 2006 census Moneygall had a church,5 shops, a post office, a garda station and two pubs. It now only has one pub so guess which bar I am planning on sitting in for most of the month of May !The population of Moneygall was 298 in 2006 but I am guessing will have risen considerably since and is about to quadruple. It is just over the Tipperary border in Offaly , so just up the way from Borrisokane, where I happen to have some very dear friends ....I may be calling !I am thinking about just sending him a wee note asking if he'd like to come round for some lemon cake and decaf tea, but I would happily stuff a bird for Barack. I'd pull off a leg for him, but he looks like a thigh man to me........ooooooh bring it on !
