One way of straining your tea when you don't use bags.

[@gaggymott9159]

Is 'TEE-SHOCK' really that difficult?

[@Petermaguire3684]

The day a teasock talks to the EU, who would of thought it. Unprecedented. Deputy minister of le teasock. Fancy sound to it really.

Prime Minister of Cheese

[@ScepticalSkeptic]

This MUST HAVE BEEN deliberate disrespect by a Tory playing to the DUP and her base.

I doubt it, this is the same idiot who thought Rostov was in Ukraine and Crimea was on the Baltic sea.

Well, at least she made the effort. She could easily have used the English "Prime Minister" but, presumably out of deference to Irish feelings, had a stab at the Gaelic. 6/10 for effort, 4/10 for pronunciation.

[@frankoneill5675]

0/10 for listening to her advisors.

[@markaxworthy2508]

@@frankoneill5675 What advisors?

[@frankoneill5675]

@@markaxworthy2508 All ministers have advisors for different aspects of their brief. Foreign ministers have advisors whose job it is to make sure they don't make diplomatic, or other, gaffes, with mispronunciation of words, inappropriate historical or cultural blunders etc. Given that many English speakers have trouble with Irish pronunciation, the minister would be told how to pronounce the word. This was a deliberate insult, given she knew the Taoiseach would not be taking advice from a minister of a hostile country.

[@markaxworthy2508]

@@frankoneill5675 So, your theory is that some ministerial advisors whispered in Truss'a ear, "Minister, let's really piss the Irish off by mispronouncing the title of their Prime Minister in their own language"? How small minded, petty and thin skinned would the Irish have to be to be offended by such a peripheral issue? I don't think anyone, except possibly yourself, has such a low opinion of Irish self confidence and ability to laugh off her faux pas as insignificant and in no way damaging to Ireland. Ireland has an infinite number of far more weighty historic and current issues to take umbrage over to worry over this slip.

@@markaxworthy2508 My original post said 0/10 for listening to her advisors. Meaning that had she listened to her advisors, she would not have mispronounced the word, not that her advisors whispered anything in her ear about insulting the Irish. 0/10 for comprehension. The least anyone should expect from a foreign minister is that they pronounce correctly the titles of other countries' leaders. It is simple diplomatic courtesy. I suggest you learn something about the two hundred year history of the English trying to wipe out the Irish language. The English certainly don't seem to see it as petty. It is remarkable how threatened they seem to be by Irish. To this day, efforts are in progress to continue stopping it being recognised as an official language in the Six Counties. It was not a slip. It was a deliberate belittling of the language. The term 'Taoiseach' is being used regularly in news reports regarding Brexit and the Protocol. Most people are more than familiar with it, hence the number of channels that have highlighted this incident. The English can't seem to accept that Ireland has remained in the EU, and is not taking England's side. We relish English insults. They remind us how impotent you are.
