Bertie’s roundis an EU brew

SO a certain celebrated hotel in Kerry has acted above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that our esteemed Taoiseach could sip his favoured pint during his much publicised visit to the Kingdom.

Is it entirely possible, given Tánaiste Mary Harney‘s notorious Boston versus Berlin speech last year, that the Taoiseach‘s heart is really closer to Brussels than Boston?

Bass is, after all, one of the leading brands owned by the Brussels-based Belgian brewery Interbrew. All of this of course means that Bertie‘s lips will never be parched during his frequent trips to Europe‘s political and economic headquarters.
