Our lovely President Higgins is certainly a man of the world, and yesterday he was in New York to address the United Nations on their peace-building mission. No better man to wave the olive branch ehh!?

Accompanied by his American buddy (and humanoid sat nav assistant) Katherine Zappone, he braved the mean streets to immerse himself in the culture. 

After nearly taking the head off the guy working in the bagel store, he heads for an interview with Fox News, where he tells them exactly what he thinks of Trump. He must have forgot how much they adore Donald, but it isn't long until he's reminded.

Thankfully the trusty Gift Grub microphones were there to pick up his incredible 'Downtown' accent and hear how he solved his dilemma with the Harlem Globetrotters. He's lucky they didn't start dunking him.

You can listen to the fun in full by pressing play in the image above the headline at the top of the page.
