Arlene Foster has hit out at the 'Irishness' of St Patrick's Day - taking digs at Bono, the colour green and Joe Biden as she did.
The former DUP leader now writes a column for the Express, as well as sometimes presenting on GB News.
But it was in the former that her takedown of the national holiday appeared.

In her opinion piece, titled Not funny Biden - Now Joe needs stop insulting British, Arlene explained how she was not best pleased at watching last week's festivities.
She wrote: "During the couple of days when the Irish descend on Washington and other assorted cities the green beer is in full flow and in Chicago the very river is turned green.
"It is a green fest and if you come from the unionist tradition believe me it’s a very uncomfortable situation. Americans are tone deaf to anybody that is Northern Irish or heaven forbid British during St Patrick’s day."
Next in the crosshairs was Nancy Pelosi, with the U2 frontman also not safe from her barbs after the 'poem' he wrote for her for the annual Speaker's Lunch on March 17.
Arlene wrote: "This year she (Nancy) treated us to a poem from Bono – she could have picked a poem from some of our greats like Seamus Heaney but no we had a poem from Bono.
"In his poem Bono likened Ireland to Ukraine and President Zelensky was the new St. Patrick, (I’m not joking) and she then finished it all off by introducing Riverdance! You couldn’t make it up."
But Arlene wasn't done there, as the head honcho himself, US President Joe Biden, also felt her ire in the column.
She wrote: "Then as if that was not bad enough the President himself who loves to talk about his “Orish” heritage said that “I may be Irish but I’m not stupid…..” – hardly a ringing endorsement of being Irish… Biden wears his “Orishness” on his sleeve and once refused to speak to the British Broadcasting Corporation because, and I quote “I’m Irish”.
"Then there was the time when as vice president he told Enda Kenny that he was welcome as long as he wore green there was no space for orange, i.e., people like me. Apparently, it was a joke. Hilarious."
