Slip of the tongue

A TD has been urged to take his economic advice from Time magazine rather than Playboy after something of a Freudian slip.

Independent TD Mattie McGrath was in the process of criticising Enda Kenny’s performance when he referred to seeing “our Taoiseach on this front page of Playboy magazine”.

He was corrected by fellow TDs, who pointed out that Mr Kenny had appeared on the cover of Time, not Playboy.
