interview 16 September 2010
So, there’s a big brouhaha in Ireland at the moment because our Prime Minister did a morning radio interview while a little challenged the other day – he’d been at his Party conference and, well, partied till 3am (pints drunk, songs sung and impressions did, by all accounts) and then he spoke to the nation a little under par a few hours later. Reminds me of the days of Yeltsin in Russia. He once famously didn’t get off his aeroplane in Shannon to meet our Irish political dignitaries because he was ‘unwell’. The hazards of being in the public eye, eh? – everyone is JUST WAITING to get that photo of the drunken slip up, or the compromising position – proof of being all too too human…
