Elastic Enda isn’t the worst of our political Pinocchios

The Taoiseach may have got caught out telling an over-excited porkie in Madrid but it is small beer compared to the great untruths that some other political leaders have expected the Irish public to swallow, writes Shaun Connolly

OH DEAR, there goes elastic Enda, stretching reality to its limits again, tripping over the truth and landing on his face as a result.

It seems it is not just the Taoiseach’s wooden demeanour that he has in common with Pinocchio, but also the inability to resist a far-fetched fib when he gets the chance.
