Laser lights in Joe's honour

Tweet

My husband and I registered to attend the address of US president, Joe Biden when he comes to Ballina in Ireland. His ancestral home is immediately behind where we are staying and we’re a bit hopeful that he might walk down our laneway to view the home. While we have few opinions either way about Joe, it’s a novelty for us to be in such a situation. Because we registered, we’ve now had an email about attendance. We are not to take any bottles, glass or otherwise, so no water, no umbrellas, no guns (now THAT’S a surprise – NOT), no fold-up chairs, no backpacks or large bags, no cameras with removable lens, no other-things-that-I-can’t-remember. We don’t think we’ll go down to the cathedral to listen to him. We would have to stand in the rain (perhaps) and cold (definitely) for maybe 3 or 4 hours. I think we’ll be more comfortable watching it on TV. There are now a lot of barriers, a huge TV screen, laser lights and more around the cathedral. The photo is Vince's taken last night.
