Irish speech went well but HRC didn’t want to do anything on Iran there
and skipped that whole section. She mostly just riffed about the peace
process in Northern Ireland.

She gave more love to Gerry Adams than I might have liked given his recent
legal troubles, but it was in the context of WJC granting his visa in
1994, so hopefully ok.
