Au Revoir Jobs: Mr Black takes lead role in Dáil slasher film

THE Taoiseach and Finance Minister swaggered into the Dáil chamber in the manner of the hit men from Reservoir Dogs.

But this was no slick, well thought-out Hollywood blockbuster, it was a thrown together, home-made effort with a French accent: Au Revoir Jobs.

As the human chain of ministers snaked towards their seats — headed by Brian Cowen, aka: Mr Black (hole in the budget) and Brian Lenihan: Mr (in the) Red — the cabinet’s two Mr Greens became noticeably detached from their colleagues, clearly wishing to lose themselves in the throng.
