Blueshirt humour falls short but Enda still wants the last laugh

FINE Gael eat their young. Or, at least, some of the Blueshirts do. The party’s health spokesman, 38-year-old Dr Liam Twomey (young by political standards) was on stage addressing delegates when the fire alarm went off at the Green Glens Arena on Saturday morning.

“That’s the bullshit detector going off,” one party member was heard to observe.

But no, Enda Kenny insisted, the Government are the ones who are full of bull.
