The Tánaiste said that he has a “very good relationship” with the US ambassador, and they “can speak very bluntly to each other”.

TÁNAISTE AND MINISTER for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has told the Dáil that although he doesn’t have a call scheduled with Ireland’s US ambassador, that he expects to speak with him this week.

” I have not spoken to the US ambassador, Mr Crawford,” he replied to a number of TDs who asked. “This does not mean I will not do so, but I have not yet.” Thousands marched in Monday’s protest to the US embassy, where a minute’s silence was held and George Floyd’s name was chanted. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to you“What Irish people want is an appropriate political response to the outrage on the back of this awful killing and the protests that have erupted since. However, they also want to see a country that historically has given a lot of global leadership on democratic values facilitating peaceful protest in an appropriate way.

That is one dirty little sneaky weasel

Surely private diplomatic residences like the Aras, Deerpark and Farmleigh are off limits to public protests?

Its bullshit. Black Lives Matter in Ireland is fake. It promotes racism. Why only Black matters? Why not all lives matter? Where were they when Rohingya were slaughtered, when Christians are murdered every day in Pakistan, India & Africa & China? Where is your outrage in all this

Cameo covney come on down how have you been ...well I’ve been hiding out I only make a odd appearance to keep the government happy ....so that like all the time ....yes

It was clear in the last vote

Former Minister for Homelessness Caring Coveney

What about what's going on in Africa Middle east Nothing to say just because it's one man dead in the usa 1000s of miles away and its causing a disruption he has something to say? Will he expel the us diplomat like he did with the Russians? Not a hope.

We'll get off yer back side it's only a phone call...

Pure chance Coveney him and he's cronies most whom we're not re elected and act as saviours to our country they ruined...p🤬ss off u rat

Uber Snob Simple Simon Coveney will be facing a long jail time once the real Irish take power, (& that is the printable version). Mark my words!

On the other side....you gonna mention Hillary’s day in court today?

Well you don’t represent me Simon

All the Irish government does is lick the arse of the US, it’s disgusting and it’s even more sickening since that big orange jelly took over the Oval Office.

After the 15th count you and your mates certainly do know where the people of Ireland stand. And yet still ffg keep helping themselves and ignoring the electorate.

Another one for ye Simon, as Mr Trump used a visit to a Pope John II memorial for a Photo Opp. One from 2016, a more recent Pope.

Speak for yourself simoncoveney you are the biggest human conflict of interest walking this country

I stand with American Nationalists

OK snake

You do not represent me, and it s disgraceful that you haven't had the gumption to call in the ambassador.

Its clear we wanted change in the GE but you know 🤣🤮

Simon, you are a Public Representative. Represent.

Spineless Coveney

3000 out of 5 million..

Mr Coveney needs to be careful in expressing support for Antifa terrorists. Antifa has been have violent and damaging property.

simoncoveney is xenophobic along with rest of FineGael .If this was Russia their ambassador would be summoned immediately,as proven by Skripalhoax.

BLM but Palestinian dont to Mr Coveney.

How can they pretend they know where the Irish people stand after the last election? Pure delusion!

Like a mouse gnawing at the hoof of an elephant

I have to say that neither Simon or any of his colleagues represent me, they haven’t done for a very long time.

Grow a pair Simon and speak or get out of the way and let someone else do it

Excuse me simon, don't speak for us! Because you're assumption is so wrong.

And where is that?

He has no right to say that
