[Miriam Lord: The video of a wonderfully oblivious Donohoe buttering up his Portuguese colleague by telling him about his lovely trip to Lisbon is an absolute joy. Imagine Ursula von der Leyen regaling Michael D. about her trip to Dublin where she visited the James Joyce tower and was honoured to be shown around by Nora Barnacle. Or Xavier Bettel excitedly telling Micheál Martin about visiting the Yeats exhibition in the National Library and getting a guided tour from Maude Gonne herself. Because that’s more or less what Paschal did.](https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/miriam-lord-donohoe-s-bookish-reputation-falls-prey-to-false-widow-story-1.4848416)
What a dickhead 😂
What ai twat and he runs our country
As much as I’d like to stick the boot in, that’s an honest mistake he’s made.
Smell of mickey off him.
Just taking this opportunity to encourage everyone to read Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet.
The politicans lie so much they can’t stop
I bet he watches films with Clive Warren and Rebeca De Mornay
She probably voted FG as well
Painfully cringey
Not that it matters, but Paschal will never make anyone a widow either, will he?
Spoofer. Or dumb. Or a dumb spoofer.
At an event, I met a woman who looks exactly like my friend’s mother *with mask on.* I went on for 5 minutes about her son. She kept nodding and *mmm*ing along. I wrapped things up and thanked her and wished her well, then turned around and saw his real mom. I turned back around to apologize, but the other lady had already bounded to the other side of the room. Felt like an idiot, but mistakes happen.
Be charitable people. Might one day be you.
Man mixed up a name. People love to have something to whinge about like 😂
(I’m no fan of the man either)
So we have Mick Wallace, Clare Daly, and all of People before Profit making a show of themselves in international politics.
And now we have our Finance Minister saying he enjoyed his last visit to Lisbon chatting to the non-existent wife of a poet who died almost 100 years ago.
If these are our best and brightest representing us, I don’t want to see our worst.
