    The Irish Government is probability not any better.

    One government computer a week has been going missing on average in recent months, ministers have admitted.

    Figures gained by the Conservatives showed 53 had disappeared in a year, along with 36 BlackBerries, 30 mobile phones and four memory sticks.

    Fair play to them. In the past year I've lost more than four memory sticks. Buggering things are so small.
