Pearse Station canvass not quite a train wreck

“The Taoiseach now standing at Platform 1 is the 08.30 Austerity Express, calling at all stations to the second bailout...”

While Enda Kenny’s early morning canvass outside Dublin’s Pearse Station was not quite a train wreck, it certainly ended-up being derailed with something of a wallop.

As if positioning the Taoiseach between a rubbish bin and a no campaign poster was not bad enough, Enda’s media handlers then allowed the whole event to be hijacked by a notoriously shouty British TV scene stealer.
