    I take it Galway Crystal or Tyrone Crystal will be used in the White House this year

    Seeing as Waterford Crystal has no association with Ireland any more...

    It would be unthinkeable for Brian Cowen not to present a crystal bowl from one of our own Crystal companies who employ people on the island...

    So what company is it? Any of our FF colleagues know?

    Tyrone Crystal has just gone out of business...

    That's a shame...

    What about Killarney Crystal then?

    Would that not require that JHR travels to present it? Can you imagine the scene in the White House?
    Dan Sullivan. I was back but we still couldn't all have a vote.

    Would be nothing compared to the scene of Brian Cowen Presenting Waterford Crystal to Obama....

    Yes, there was a picture of it on the front page of the Irish Times this morning. No word on the provenance of the receptacle though.
    Nothing will motivate the lazy / apathetic / Americanised / west-British types to embrace their culture and the Irish language.

    Seemingly it was.....



    No mention what type of Cystal was used, which is strange as it was always released as a Waterford Cystal bowl.. May have put this thread up too early...

    How could I find out about this? Would be a fecking disgace if Waterford was used
