Taoiseach Enda Kenny has received global recognition for his speech about Irish immigration in Washington.

Using the annual St Patrick's day visit to discuss the contribution of the Irish community in the US, the Taoiseach used the shamrock ceremony speech to “lecture” President Trump on immigration.

"Four decades before Lady Liberty lifted her lamp we were the wretched refuse on the teeming shore.

"We believed in the shelter of America, in the compassion of America, in the opportunity of America. We came and became Americans," he said, as Trump looked on.

Now, Twitter is full of praise for Enda's speech from people from all over the world, but some Irish folk are claiming that the praise is misguided. 

"Do you know how Ireland treats asylum seekers? it's a system called "direct provision" and it's brutal, worse than you can imagine," said one, referring to the short-term accommodation that asylum seekers live in in Ireland. 

Others found it hypocritical that Enda would refer to people leaving their countries due to a lack of liberty, while some feel that Irish women are currently being deprived of their reproductive rights due to the 8th amendment to the constitution.

The 8th amendment, which has come under much opposition in recent years thanks to the work of The Abortion Rights Campaign and the Repeal project, means that Irish women face up to 14 years in prison for obtaining an abortion, and must flee the country to procure these services safely. 

However, the majority of people feel that the Taoiseach's speech was a subtle burn directed toward's the POTUS and his travel ban.

"I don't like Enda Kenny and I doubt I ever will, but the speech he made was brave and respectable," said one.

Our obsession with all things mermaid-themed will probably never cease, especially if we keep finding amazing mermaid products to fuel the fire.

The most recent store to give us all the Atlantis feels is Mermaid Salon, an Aussie-based brand that knows a thing or two about mimicking a mermaid. 

The chubby mermaid carve and contour brush is a multipurpose, vegan makeup brush that's pretty damn versatile.

It can be used to apply powder foundation, blush, highlight or contour. Nifty!

Because who wouldn't want to contour like a pro while simultaneously getting one step closer to being a real life mermaid? 

The handles are shaped like little mermaid tails and are available in silver, rose gold, and black (we might have to get one in every colour).

And the best thing is, getting one in every colour is actually achievable, seeing as each one rings up at only €11.50 each. 

 We're pretty sure that Ariel would have hundreds of these in her trove of treasures if she had half a chance!

We'll take one of these over a dinglehopper any day.

Rumours have been circulating that Little Mix's Jesy Nelson has been secretly seeing The Only Way is Essex star Chris Clark.

Now, the singer has confirmed the rumours by posting this very telling snap on Instagram.

 

A post shared by @jesynelson on

Posing for the camera, the pair share a kiss that has been liked over 220,000 times. 

The reality TV star flew to America to support the Little Mix singer on her current tour, as showcased in Jesy's caption "9 hours later."

There has been speculation about their relationship after Chris shared a snap of the couple three weeks ago.

 

A post shared by Chris Clark (@chrisjclark_) on

"I don't want this girl to go back America tomorrow!" he captioned the shot.

 Jesy split up from her fiancé Jake Roche last year, and is clearly very happy with her new beau.

Donald Trump clearly isn't a fan of One Direction, after he removed them from one of his hotels. 

The President kicked the boy band out after they refused to meet his daughter. 

This revelation comes courtesy of band member Liam Payne, who let the news slip in an interview with Rollacoaster.

 

A post shared by Liam Payne (@liampayne) on

Liam said that the POTUS phoned their room asking if they'd be happy to meet his daughter (either Ivanka or Tiffany, it's not clear which one), and their manager declined on the basis that the boys were asleep. 

“Trump actually kicked us out of his hotel once. You wouldn’t believe it. It was about his daughter. He phoned up our manager and we were asleep," said the star. 

"He said ‘well, wake them up’ and I was like ‘no’ and then he wouldn’t let us use the underground garage."

"Obviously in New York we can’t really go outside. New York is ruthless for us. So he was like, ‘OK, then I don’t want you in my hotel.’ So we had to leave.”

That's definitely not the best hospitality service, Trump!

A man has been shot dead in Orly Airport in Paris after grabbing a gun from an anti-terror officer. 

The man was a radicalised Muslim and was known to French intelligence services, according to a police source.

The attacker took the female officer's weapon before seeking refuge in a store. 

The airport has been evacuated, and flights are being diverted to Paris' other airport, Charles de Gaulle.

"We were sitting in Hall Three when all of a sudden people started running and telling us to run with them," Ellie Guttetter, 18, from the US told the BBC.

"The people running were passengers and flight attendants. It was pretty chaotic and everyone was panicking – it was scary."

There is no better place to be on Saint Patrick's Day than Ireland, and clearly one celeb know this to be true. 

Drop-dead gorgeous model Emily Ratajkowski is currently meandering around Bantry in County Cork. 

The 26-year-old model spent her summers growing up in Cork, despite being born in London to American parents. 

The brunette stunner has been sharing snaps on Instagram of beautiful Bantry, and she's clearly delighted to be there.

Captioning the snap"Home" with a shamrock emoji, Emily is clearly proud of her association with the Emerald Isle. 

And sure, why wouldn't she be? 

Back in Spetember 2015, the model visited Bantry and called it her "home away from home."

So if anyone spots a 5"6 brunette beauty wandering around Bantry, it could very well be Emily!

Selfie cameras at the ready.

Let's face it – putting on makeup is an art form, whether you're good at it or not.

That is why we so excited by Urban Decay's latest collection, which is a collaboration with a very famous artist. 

 

@urbandecaycosmetics X Basquiat X RR

A post shared by Ruby Rose (@rubyrose) on

The exciting cosmetics brand took to Instagram this week to announce their latest collection, which is inspired by the work of famed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

The launch, which includes so many amazing products is called Urban Decay x Basquiat – and you're going to want it all. 

 

It's hard to imagine a more perfect fit for UD — introducing our #UDxBasquiat collection. #UrbanDecay

A post shared by Wende Zomnir (@udwende) on

Many of you may have no clue who Jean-Michel is (fair), so we have a little bit of background information on him.

Basquiat began his career as a graffiti artist in New York City, where he became well-known for his vibrant combinations of text and symbols and his commentary on race and society.

A post shared by Urban Decay Cosmetics (@urbandecaycosmetics) on

Urban Decay released a statement about the new collection: "Like Urban Decay, Basquiat was an outsider who challenged the status quo and used colour in nontraditional ways. From his informal graffiti work and the way he mixed mediums and colours to the way he spoke out against social injustice, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect fit for our brand."

The launch features 12 products, with colours and names inspired by the artist's work. There are two fabulous eyeshadow palettes, a blush/bronzer palette, three vibrant lipstick shades, and eye liners in red, yellow, and blue.

Muggles can now play their very own Harry Potter game, but it's nothing like wizard's chess. 

Online HP store Forbidden Forest Crafts have created a new game, which follows the same format as Cards Against Humanity.

The infamous game involves players completing fill-in-the-blank statements and prompt cards to create sentences, usually culminating in ridiculous and absurd statements. 

The game is perfect for major Potter heads, who know the ins and outs of the books and movies like the back of their muggle hands. 

The game creators leaked a few teaser cards from the deck, with one prompt card reading: “After months of practising magic, I think I’m finally ready for …..”

And the answer options: "Random red-headed splinched twat floating in the Room of Requirement" and "Having to explain to Madam Pomfrey why you used Engorgio on your d***." Too funny. 

We'd love to get our hands on the game, but unfortunately, the Cards Against Muggles box set is currently sold out.

Hopefully the creators get some more sets produced ASAP.

We all have a WhatsApp group with our best gal pals, and after a night out, our phones are hopping thanks to the goss being doled out in the sacred space. 

From questions like "where did you all go last night? I had to get a taxi on my own," and "I'm afraid to even look in my clutch girls, I spent a bomb last night," this viral parody video is literally every Irish girl's group chat. 

From comedian Enya Martin's page Giz A Laugh, the video is told through the medium of Snapchat filters and we couldn't love it more. 

The video has already been viewed 215,000 times so it's well on it's way to going completely viral. 

The video depicts all the different types of girls within a night out friend group, from the dry arse to the sesh mot, and of course, the one who always gets sick everywhere. 

Check it out for yourself, it's hilarious:
