The Irish Republic’s Embassy is on Yusuf Lule Road and not on parliament avenue.
Geldof was knitted by the Queen of Britain sometime ago for his effort in mobilising aid for famine in Ethiopia, but being non-British and non-Commonwealth just like the knighted computer guru, Bill Gates he cannot use “Sir†before his name.
