    Maybe its the guy who threw the shoes at GW Bush.

    It was Dick Roche! The crooks got away.

    Robbery at a resort in Bray. Sawn-off shotgun was used no shots fired.

    Does Dick Roche even count as a minister anymore?

    I thought he was dead after all these years...

    Ah he'd have to be who else (except the staff) would be hanging around the bar in Druid's Glen of a Monday morning.

    I bet he's still there since last night..... Sure he could chance driving home at this stage - not that he'd be done for it if he was caught anyhow... What does he actually do these days? Apart from playing golf......

    Minister for sweet FA in other words... Maybe he was trying to impliment a new scheme in which Irelands upper class golfers can convince us to vote yes to Lisbon thru the medium of sport. I can see Harrington with a cap with all kinds of slogans on it.

    His driver is an armed Garda... I wonder how he reacted, were weapons drawn? Did he duck and roll? Throw himself in front of Roche in a very "the bodyguard" filmic manner.
