To the Irish, your new President Connolly has removed "Saint" from Saint Patrick, and also addresses you as "global citizen" instead of Irish, Irishmen, or Irish citizens. What is she afraid of?

from Ireland's new President, Catherine Connolly,
The story of Patrick's life serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of migrants, the invaluable contributions that they have made and continue to make to the countries they now call home, sometimes even in the face of great sometimes even in the face of great adversity. Patrick's story speaks not only to the Ireland of the 5th Century but to the millions still subjected to trafficking, forced labor, and displacement today. As we recall the life of Patrick, we invoke his spirit and acknowledge our shared responsibilities as Global Citizens. We stand in solidarity with those who find themselves in vulnerable and dangerous circumstances. Patrick's story invites us to respond with hospitality and kindness to those suffering the consequences of War and displacement, those fleeing their countries because of persecution or violence.
