Well that @instatubridy and his show are another reason to love Ireland. Many of his staff slept out on the sidewalk last night to raise money for homelessness. I’m very impressed by their commitment and dedication. My heart was already full because of my interview with @thesineadburke and the blue wave group at the screening and I got to see my beloved friend John Boorman as well as connect with my talented and very soft friend Lainey Keogh but now I have new friends to add to my life. @amy_huberman Thank you Ireland for your warmth and loving welcome. The luck of the Irish should really be the LOVE of the Irish! go raibh míle maith agat

When it comes to how the Irish feel about Jamie Lee, they made it clear on social media that they are big fans.

 

One wrote, ''any chance #Jamieleecurtis would run for President...either the U.S or Ireland maybe BOTH.''

 

While another gushed, ''dear god...I love @jamieleecurtis so much! Welcome to Ireland.''

 

You're welcome here anytime, Jamie Lee but until her next visit you can catch her in Halloween when it hits cinemas nationwide on October 19th.
