Celtic tiger is alive and well in suburban Paris

I am delighted today to be in a position to solve a mystery which has baffled the elitist innards of the most educated heads of the nation for almost a decade now.

Even Patrick Honohan of the Central Bank and Senator Shane Ross, who appears to know something about everything, have never been able to discover where our mighty Celtic Tiger disappeared to after departing so dramatically, in the era before we knew how to spell the word austerity.

It is with great pride I reveal his current whereabouts to within a few hundred metres of where he is licking his famous chops today. I hope ye will all give me due credit for this considerable scoop.
