Politician chases dog around a back garden in election campaign bit

The election campaign has begun and with it comes the stream of cute baby photos with various politicians and overenthusiastic handshakes with wide grins.

And amid these campaign gems there is also this little beauty of Labour TD Kevin Humphreys chasing a dog around a back garden.

The Minister for Employment, Community and Social Support is clearly enjoying his game with this little rascal carrying what looks like a plastic bag full of cable ties.
