Speaker Ryan remarks at 2018 Friends of Ireland luncheon

House Speaker Paul Ryan jokes at the annual luncheon in the Capitol that the reason Irish jokes are funny is they are repeated, telling attendees that Taoiseach Leo Varadkar had served as an intern so is return as Prime Minister was just incredible, to applause. Ryan says he started that way, politicians go on and on but there was Guinness, which tastes better in Ireland, although it was not the year to bring up trade issues, to laughter. Ryan says American ties with Ireland are as strong as ever, looking at a speaker, Senate Majority Leader Scots Irish, trump administration cabinet members and even a Kennedy who may run for president, to laughter. Ryan names, vice president Mike pence, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, budget director Mick Mulvaney, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, defense secretary, Jim Mattis, which really means meetings start twice as late, last twice as long and get half the decisions made.
