Cowen to appoint a "cultural ambassador" to the United States

[flavirostris]

Could be an ideal gig for Johnny Ronan or Sean Dunne. They would do us proud

[Congalltee]

Oh no cringe.

It will have to Paul Hewson.
Or Séamus Heaney.

Anyone else will be a nobody and the real ambassador will sideline a la Richard Bruton and George Lee.

Wonder what the job spec will be--will the post be advertised---will it be paid--why single out the US for this great honour--what about Australia France Germany Russia---maybe the intention is to be nearer to Boston than Berlin---of course maybe he knows that he will be out of office by then and will not have to honour the promise

Which chapter of the An Bord Snip report features this little gem? No, it's easier to cut SW.

Not too sure which is more depressing...the fact we dug our own hole or people's willingness to forget. Depressing ain't it?

Yis are all forgetting Calamity Coughlan.


Personally I think it's one shameful Mr. B. 'won it on the nags' Ahern going there.
