You’ve been listening to Liveline.

Seems the Taoiseach was having a cigarette in the stadium after the Dublin-Cork game on Sunday. Turns out he’s sitting in an open area not designated for smoking.

And a bloke called up Joe. Cowen’s office rang in to RTE to apologise.

‘It could have been another Bradford,” said nobody outside the stadium. A terrified passer by did not add: “You would have thought the leader of the country would know where to smoke.”

Still. It’s good to know he’s back on the cigs. We all are.

Either people are having babies or they’ve taken up smoking again.  

In the Broadsheet office we’re back to the 30-day habit we ditched during the ‘golden years’. Karl, meanwhile, has been chewing the little gangsters ever since Larry Murphy’s release.

PS Cowen’s Choice of Cigarette? We’re thinking Carroll’s.

PPS We know that’s biscuit not a cigarette.

CLICK the ARROW for more pix from that historic address in Cork yesterday.

Lenihan gets mobbed. Cowen gets jealous. You know how this is going to end.

So Transport Minister Noel Dempsey took the good government jet (seven grand an hour) to Northern Ireland when he could have gone by road.

So what? We’re 100 billion in the red. Who gives a fuck?

And when he got to Northern Ireland. His driver was there to meet him.

That’s his job.

Having driven all the way from Dublin.

Oh.
