Former Taoiseach found working in McDonalds
After his long and exemplary career in public service, which culminated in such landmarks for Ireland as a near total and complete economic collapse requiring the state to go cap-in-hand to paw for money from the IMF and Angela Merkel, and the most dysfunctional government since the early 80s, it has been discovered by Studenty that former Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, is now working in the McDonalds on Grafton Street.
Philomena Lynott fights back against the Republicans
The poor Republican running party in the US aren’t having the best campaign so far, musically speaking. First Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s favourite band, blasted Ryan on being the “embodiment of the machine that (their) music rages against”. And now Philomena Lynott has come out against Ryan using her son’s music in his campaign.

Enda Kenny declines referendum debate invite
Polling day for the Fiscal Treaty referendum is fast approaching and the fact that Taoiseach Enda Kenny refuses to enter into debate on the matter continues to raise questions. The latest to voice his concern on the matter is Fianna Fáil leader and fellow advocate for a ‘Yes’ vote, Micháel Martin. The matter arose last week when TV3 asked Mr Kenny to debate the issue on Tonight with Vincent Browne, which he declined.
