cityhallcityhall2roundroomdanny1danny2danny3Just before midnight tonight at a suitably themed Round Room at the Mansion House in Dublin – kitted out as ‘LAPD City Hall’.

The event was part of the JDIFF and the Jameson cult film club screening of LA Confidential with a Q&A hosted by Rick O’Shea. Apparently, the drinks tokens resembled a business card featured in the movie.

That tweet….

 

Nice. But not a patch on 2011’s triumph.

Noonan

Really?

Finance Minister Michael Noonan on Bloomberg Television’s ‘The Pulse’ earlier today.

It was all smiles until around 9.30, when he was asked about the Bundesbank’s president Jens Weidmann’s recent comments regarding  the legality of the promissory note deal.

In a much more sombre exchange with news anchor Guy Johnson at 10.38.

Guy Johnson: “No rules were broken.”

Michael Noonan: “No rules were broken.”

Johnson: “Do you expect any challenge? Do you expect a legal challenge to emanate from German? Could there be a challenge? And how destabilising would that be?”

Noonan: “I don’t expect any legal challenge from any authority or any institution in Europe. Individuals frequently take cases, we have a string of them in the Irish courts always, but they don’t go very far.”

Yikes.
