March 2011: Becomes Justice minister
[100 days later]
June 2011, Appoints Oliver J Connolly to €12,500-a-year-but-about-as-part-time-as-you’re-likely-to-get state role*.
June 15, 2011 On RTE R1’s ‘Morning Ireland’ Shatter describes the Irish Independent’s report about the appointment of his friend and one-time colleague/boss as “despicable”. Minutes earlier, the minister had deliberately evaded a question about something actually despicable: why the victims of the Magdalene Laundries cannot even get a pension before a verdict on the exact level of the state’s role in the horror is established.
*Oliver is to act as as a “confidential recipient”, which is a person whom Gardai whistleblowers may talk to in confidence (they may or may not be alarmed that their confidential whatsit is so tight with the justice minister).

25-year-old Shanghai telecom worker Wang Kang’s Iron Man Mk1 ‘armour’ is actually a 50kg foam costume that took three months and $450 to make.
‘No colleagues knew my mission, and some of them froze there in seeing me approach,’ he said. ‘Some were even screaming for being scared.’ But Wang said the effort had been well worth it – with the costume drawing praise from his bosses and compliments from women. He claimed some had even ‘fallen in love’ with him because of it. ‘They said I am a happy and creative man, and they wanted to know me’.
Running low on mind bleach, we made Karl watch it. He’s still in a foetal position behind the sofa.
