Will Jesse Helms be going to any of these gatherings or is he just being feted with wine at the Big bash in Belfast?
I am always among the first to proclaim, loudly and clearly, that Ernesto 'Che' Guevara has an Irish connection but in the interests of accuracy I would make two points. First of all his full name was Ernesto Guevara Serna ( Serna being his mother's family name )......it was his father who was called Ernesto Guevara Lynch. Secondly his grandmother was not born in Ireland but rather belonged to a well established Irish-Argentinian family whose predecessors arrived via Mexico I believe in the late 18th/early 19th century. Nevertheless el Che was proud of his Irish connection and in 1964 on his way from New York (where he had addressed the UN) to eastern Europe, his plane was diverted to Dublin. From there he sent his father a letter telling him that he had arrived in the 'green Ireland of your ancestors'. He adds in his customary jocular fashion that he didn't t go into any great detail about his Irish roots at the time in case said ancestors had been horse thieves and perhaps had been run out of the place. The RTE archives have a short news item about this unplanned visit which is well worth a look if only to witness the eternal patience with which el Che treats the unfortunate Aer Lingus stewardess who was dragged in to act as interpreter for the RTE journalist and whose Spanish clearly isn't up to the job.
¡ Vive el Che ! ¡ Hasta la victoria siempre !
