Yea, he/she is called the Aide de Camp. I’ll be damned if I can find out her name, but I think that’s her there in the photo at the Limerick Cork match. Obviously not a very public job but I remember Ciaran Fitzgerald held the role for President Dr. Patrick Hillery.

The great Sue Ramsbottom held the role for Big Bird once upon a time.

I thought it was an excellent piece by an Uachtaran.
The omission of the Catholic Church from imperialist forces who oppressed Ireland was notable, but otherwise he fairly sliced through some of the Bruton school of revisionist history.

He sliced right around the edge of it, through the easy target, completely avoiding anything that might make him unpopular.
