Keep ‘stupid ol’ pencils’

THE Taoiseach told the Dáil last week that Ireland would be the laughing stock of Europe if it didn’t introduce e-voting soon.

He said that “our silly old system is outdated”, and that the use of “stupid ol’ pencils” was not the norm in the 21st century.

Mr Ahern is obviously not aware that 21 of the 25 countries in the EU still use “stupid ol’ pencils” to chose their elected representatives.
