Dial M for mirth: phone home, Enda, and call it a day

WHO ya gonna call? Enda-Buster! Riverdance famously makes our Taoiseach cry, so it was fittingly patriotic of him to give us all a good St Paddy’s weekend laugh with his bizarre transatlantic trilling of Carly Rae Jepsen’s song ‘Here’s My Number, Call Me Maybe.’

Let’s be straight about ministerial Patrick’s Day junkets

The so-called trade missions are free holidays, but while our representatives are being feted abroad at our expense in cities of their choosing, they could make a stand, such as for the right of gay people to join New York’s parade

A Cabinet reshuffle before Enda shuffles off to Europe?

It isn’t Ming’s stunt that makes us despair of the Dáil
It isn’t Ming’s stunt that makes us despair of the Dáil

THE opposition stormed out of the Dáil — nobody noticed.
