    The Mystery of St Patrick's Day

    Where will our government Ministers be on St Patrick's Day?

    I saw a newspaper claim that the government is refusing to say, but that just cannot be true.

    Can it?
    "There isn’t a country of the 17 euro countries at present who could carry this in a referendum, there isn’t a single country bar Ireland." - Minister for Finance, on Bloomberg tv.

    What happens if ESM money poured into eurozone banks evaporates?

    The fleet of goverment aircraft (fixed wing and rotary) are currently in the hangar undergoing a full greasing, to be made available at 15 minutes' notice to any Minister.

    The encrypted connection to the red phone in Baldonnel is hopping with Ministers making preparations for the big day. The bickering over who's more senior than who and who gets the Lear (that you can stand up in, has an on-board jacks and comes equipped with a better drinks cabinet) is endless. Maire Hoctor will have to settle for the Gulfstream and have a good piss in the Baldonnel Officers' Mess before she gets on board.

    The short straws will be drawn in Buswell's tonight to decide who has to stay home to fly the flag of government. O'Dea doesn't have to participate though, cos he was left behind last year.
