And the Irish aren’t nice to him either. Here is a hilarious correspondence between Irish and French diplomats about a request for a presidential VIP box at this weekend’s rugby match football play-off between the Greens and les Bleus.
Do you believe the exchange might be authentic?
I don’t. Quite aside from the weird rudeness of the Irish guy, certainly in his last reply,
a/ France have an embassy in Dublin. Why put in a request concerning the head of state through some consulate?

c/ Check the postcode: Paris is 75, not 74.
No, it’s a hoax – but a nice one!
Simon mi’lad, you need a bit o’time in Ireland to scratch the wit of the Irish. T’has nay to do with French ‘esprit’.
