Willie O’DJ ‘administering a yoke’ prior to ‘dropping a tab’, then taking bets with himself as to which will ‘kick in first’, as performed by the Rubberbandits and friends at a Meteor Camden Crawl 2012 event in The Village on Wexford Street, Dublin literally 90 minutes ago.

IT equipment has also been tested to see if it could replicate the computer systems used in Leinster House and print out official documents for the smooth running of the Dáil.
