Taoiseach tackles tiny Munster fan with ease

HE kissed the blushing bride, but came a cropper with a 10-month-old Munster rugby supporter who wasn’t going to be puckered up to by anybody from Leinster.

Taoiseach Brian Cowen managed to mix business with pleasure in Cork yesterday, taking time out to attend the wedding of the daughter of Minister for Education Batt O’Keeffe.

The nation’s leader made it to the church on time to give Batt’s daughter, Patrice, a congratulatory peck on the cheek.
