Our Taoiseach has jetted to Greece,
To talk about tactics to fleece,
More cash from the Hun,
Which seems like great fun,
Until Angela calls in the lease.

Wonderful twist in Shattergate – Mattie McGrath claims Shatter refused a breath-test at Garda Checkpoint…
— rabble(@wearerabble) May 23, 2013
Independent TD Mattie McGrath this morning asked Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore if he knew if Alan Shatter [before he became Justice Minister] had been stopped at a garda checkpoint, asked to produce a specimen of breath and if his subsequent behaviour and reaction to this request was “appropriate and indeed cordial?”.
Mr McMcGrath also asked if Mr Gilmore knew if Mr Shatter had attempted to use the TDs’ privilege of immunity from traffic charges while travelling to and from the Dail “as a means of avoiding the breath test”.
Gasp.

You can’t beat a bit of high kitsch every now and again – because it’s a food issue I wanted to do something ambrosial and Fragonard is the master of indulgence and pleasure – but I don’t think hamburgers existed when he painted this, if they did I’m sure he would have added them.

Le Cool Dublin are today launching a new series of food videos called FORKFUL. With visual candy suppled by Mark Duggan and Aoife McElwain, top.
Mark sez:
We want to reduce the videos down to their simplest form and find the personality and beauty in the ingredients and process. Would like people to appreciate them both on an aesthetic and culinary level.
