I spoke with Aurélie, the artist writer & broadcaster at length via the french lanquage over the weekend somewhere in downtown, Dundalk.
I'll leave it up to you clever little Acolytes Irish or otherwise...
To prove Aurélie wrong or right dependent only upon...
Our/your/my/hers/his/they/their collective stereotypical International view of the Irish Nation...
Especially so when venturing abroad to become foreigners/illegal immigrants ...
{mainly in America of course 'bout a million of them...that's a LOT of Irish in America...almost a THIRD of our current population on the 'ol sod!}
Cont: /drunken pains in the arse/assholes begging money for 'drink' on the streets of the Worlds Capital Cities/Unemployment 'dole' queue[s]/working in England and FLYING home to Ireland at the weekend...
So they can 'sign on' back in the 'ol cunt-er-ee. Duh!
And the Question is:
JKpresents:
'Aurélie, you arrived in this country because of your innate love of the Irish Republic going back some hundreds of years'
I believe, your ancestors landed at Killala Bay with General Humbert to help free the peoples of Ireland. Now that you have been resident in Dublin for two years or so how do you find the modern day Irish people. And do you think the sacrifice of your countrywoman/men at that time was justified?"
{editorial Note: Most of the french volunteers were either executed or imprisoned by the government of the day.}
And the Answer was:
Aurélie Montfrond:
'Apres un sandwich jambon-fromage, un tropicana hors de prix et des Kinder Bueno et country (y a ca en Irlande, au moins!)..entouré de 3 pauvres collegues parlant d'une emission de Big brother qu'ils avaient regardé Samedi dernier et me demandant ce que je pensais d'une stituation X (comme si c'etait logique) ...en fait j'avais envie de dire c'est plutot votre situation qui faut revoir ...ca devient critique!'
I'll leave you to bring my/her point across to us.
Goodnight and thankyou for listening.
Addendum: Aurélie on the Road...in further downtown, Dublin
