Louise McSharry

It's a photograph of an auto pen, which is a machine that replicates signatures, which is like just a dig at him.

And there's a photograph of Michal Martin walking down by these pictures and captions laughing.

And I just thought, I thought it was so gross.

And I thought it was a really good demonstration of why it's so gross that we're doing this.

But I also thought it was really interesting that they decided to release that photograph.

you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I agree.

And like, obviously if you are in a, in a role like that, or even say Catherine Connolly being in the role she's in, like you have to meet people that you don't personally like.

That's part of it.

Like you have to do things that you probably don't personally want to do, but there's a way of doing it.

And I think that one of the challenges around the Paddy's Day visit is

is that it has this overarching tone of unseriousness because of the occasion, because of the shamrock, because of all of those things.

So you kind of, I do feel like,

it makes it even more difficult because it makes the whole thing feel kind of jovial and super friendly rather than a kind of diplomatic political interaction.

So, you know, maybe, I don't know.

I don't know, man.

It's just, it's grim.
