An Tánaiste and Labour Party boss, Joan Burton, with her PR-handlers in a tiny boat, in a tiny side-trickle of a flood, in a shameless photo-stunt for the awaiting news media, manages to fall out of the boat into thirty odd centimetres of water in what must surely be a metaphor for her entire time in government office – or indeed her political career as a whole. As one, a nation rejoices. Though I hear that the Gardaí are arresting the water as I type…
Update 1: Hmm… I can post this piece to An Sionnach Fionn’s Twitter feed but not to the Facebook Page, despite several attempts to do so. It is automatically being deleted each time and talking to other FB users none of them can view it on their timelines or when visiting the ASF FB page. This is the second time in recent weeks that a post featuring the words “Joan Burton” in the headline/post description has mysteriously disappeared from my Facebook Page. Decidedly odd…
Update 2: And now this coincidental glitch on Twitter, also reported by other users.
Update 3: Happy new year!

Shameless Seamus! Hilarious!

It’s not the only “falling out” she had in the matter of Irish Water. Too funny!

The situation I am assured is still quite fluid…names of those to be charged are being witheld for security reasons though we are assured that a Mr H and two Mr O’s (presumably related) are currently in the local jug!
