Minister afloat in copious watersheds
There have been so many watersheds in the political life of this minister, that, any day soon, we may see him trying to negotiate Niagara Falls in a tub.
And when I look at the arts, sport and tourism minister John O'Donoghue beside him, I am reminded of zero tolerance and his assassination of Nora Owen when Mr Donoghue was opposition spokesman on justice. Even the shredding of a warrant that was photocopied in Garda HQ was a resigning matter for the then justice minister Owen, according to the then proponent of zero tolerance.
