Bertie jets in for beauty salon appointment

IT was like old times during a special reunion in Limerick last night. Bertie and Celia together again, both doing that routine for the cameras they did thousands of times as an international couple.

But this time it was more a friendly duet. Or a 'temporary arrangement' as another Fianna Fáil Taoiseach might say.

There was no Wall of China to form a spectacular setting but the salubrious surroundings of Celia's beauty clinic at the Castletroy Park Hotel did just fine. The Taoiseach, who was on a visit to the Mid-West, dropped in to wish his ex all the best in her new venture.
