As votes were being tallied in the US and the picture was beginning to emerge of Donald Trump's impending victory, a big smile was painted on the lips of Wexford woman Collette Butler. This moment captured a unique blend of local culture and international politics, as she mixed traditional Irish customs with the excitement of an election outcome.
In the dark of the night, on Collette's coffee table in her sitting room, the most Irish of traditions met with some good ol' fashioned US politics. Prayers said, a candle stood lighting next to a bobblehead figure of Donald Trump, decked out with the stars and stripes. This setting illustrated how personal beliefs often intersect with global events in unexpected ways.
