You couldn’t make it up.

You guys might get a kick out of this video. It’s based the interview [about the irish Water deadline] between Labour Senator Lorraine Higgins and Gavin Jennings on RTÉ Radio One’s  Morning Ireland last week. We wanted to do it justice and so we transcribed it and re-enacted it! We added in no jokes and stayed 100% with the original content of what was said, mistakes and stumbles an’ all!

    The decisions on penalties and enforcement were, according to Lorraine Higgins, to be taken by the government “over the course of the next week” [5:04].

    The interview was on 2nd Feb, so by yesterday, 9th Feb, the government was to have decided on the penalties and enforcement.

    They’ve been keeping very quiet about it, though maybe the enforcement will be to dawn raid protesters, arrest them and detain them for nine hours.

      The rumored penalties are going to be very harsh, John Tierney’s going to come around your house and stare at you until you pay….

    BTW, those two actors were good, particularly doe-eyed cutie, and the production was snazzy. Top class.

    That is Dr. Gavin Jennings you are personating BTW. DOCTOR. Expect a strongly worded letter any minute.

      The Guardian Style guide has a funny take on the old “Dr” chestnut. As I remember it, only medical doctors, doctors of science and of theology are given the title outside of an academic context. The old version, which I can’t find, had a note to the effect that politicians and public figures who happened to have a PhD in English Lit are never to be referred to as Dr Smith.

    Ms Higgins is a failed politician , we the electorate made it crystal clear at the ballot box time after time that we do not want her representing us.. just because she got lab/fg buddies she walks into a cushy senate number…this person has no elected authority to represent me …. Super recreation…. thank you
