“It’s me, Brother Cusack,” the cards read. “And I just called to say on behalf of Coláiste Éamann Rís — that’s the new name for Deerpark, by the way. 

"And don’t be saying ‘well it’ll always be Deerpark to me’ because you probably said that about Opel Fruits, Marathon Bars, and Network Two.

“Anyway, I just wanted to say on behalf of Coláiste Éamann Rís, a very merry Christmas. 

"And also … would you mind please bringing in your wheelie bin, it’s been out for days. Thanks! Go mbeannaí an Tealaign Naofa sibh go léir.” 

With a final thumbs-up, Brother Cusack turns and walks away.

The tongue-in-cheek skit ends by saying “Merry Christmas from Coláiste Éamann Rís — NOT Deerpark."
