Dublin-based sources report that Denis Carney recalls a joke told by U.S. President Donald Trump during Carney’s recent visit to the United States. According to the outlets, Carney recounts the anecdote publicly while speaking to a large audience in Ireland. BreakingNews.ie reports that Carney tells the story to a crowd of several hundred people in County Mayo as part of concluding his two-day visit to the country. Belfast Telegraph likewise states that Carney refers to the “shooting” joke in his remarks during the U.S. trip and brings it up during his Irish appearance.
The reports present the account as a recalled anecdote rather than a new policy statement. Neither source provides additional details about the context in which the joke was originally made, nor does it describe any official response from government or other authorities. The coverage focuses on Carney’s retelling of the comment to attendees as he ends his two-day Ireland visit.
