Musical events and gigs may be allowed to go ahead if alcohol is not served

It’s looking like maybe quite soon
You can go hear a band play a tune
But the staff will refuse
To let you drink booze
So it isn’t that much of a boon

It will be an offence to attend a home gathering with more than six visitors

If you’re starting to think of a plan
To invite six friends round for a can
And invite more
The next knock on the door
Might just be from a police man

Phil Hogan (above) has resigned as Ireland’s European Commissioner

The former Commissioner Phil
Has announced that from now on he will
Not oversee trade
As there’s food to be made
On his brand new George Foreman Grill

Last night: He Could Be Anywhere

France’s interior minister has defended the “precious” right to sunbathe topless on beaches

A French scandal is brewing and it’s
About whether one should flaunt one’s bits
In Ireland a sinner
Attends a golf dinner
In France they just cover up tits

Taoiseach Micheál Martin wants the 2020 GAA All-Ireland championship to go ahead

Micheál would think it a shame
If Paddy can’t watch a big game
It’s a risk, but FG
Are bound to agree
If it goes wrong then he’ll take the blame

 Phil Hogan is ignoring calls to resign over Golfgate as it emerged he was stopped by gardai on his way to the event for using a mobile phone while driving

The EU Commissioner Phil
Is fast running out of goodwill
He took us for fools
And broke all the rules
And travelled while people were ill

US President Donald Trump was asked yesterday about the Qanon movement

The terrorist followers of Q
Spout bullshit that just isn’t true
So when Trump has the chance
To take a firm stance
Against them, that’s not what he’ll do

The Taoiseach announced yesterday
That Covid’s not going away
So we’re not allowed
To meet in a crowd
But weddings and schools are okay.

A former CIA officer has been arrested and charged with selling secrets to China over several years

If you’re looking to top up your pay
After working for the CIA
You could ask the Chinese
But there’s no guarantees
That events will all work out your way
