Thursday marks the first anniversary of the riots in Washington DC by supporters of former US President Donald Trump. Amid the turmoil that day, however, a very Irish name began to trend on social media: Donie.

Kerry man and CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan was live at the scene as Trump supporters overwhelmed the US Capitol and he impressed viewers internationally. On Twitter, #Donie appeared among the top trends in Ireland and he responded at the time: “Overwhelmed by all the love from Ireland tonight.”
