    Wouldn't it be appropriate to award the much coveted "Beard of the Year" title, to one of our much loved patriots who work long into the night on behalf of the underprivaleged in the PS.
    Nominations to be in before the close of garlic's budget speech this week.

    No doubt the would be contestants, will be on full parade outside the Dail afterwards, and on Primetime etcetra. We can then have one final viewing before awarding the Waterford Crystal Garlic, which will be sponsored by David McWillams!

    Get the nominations rolling folks. Show your appreciation for our gallant beards.

    I am nominating Jack O'Connor for the lifetime achievement award.

    The man is a monument to the fact that if you sit on your outmoded rhetoric for long enough, you will eventually get the chance to use it.

    I am nominating Jack O'Connor for the optimist of the year award

    The man was the first to look on the bright side of the recession, he rubbed his hands with glee as private sector lay offs allowed him to show beyond doubt that capitalist market structures are the work of satan.

    I am nominating Jack O'Connor for the unsustainable position of the year award

    Six figure salary, DB pension, generous expenses allowance and the gall to take potshots at industry fat cats

    I second Jack O'Connor for his performance on The Frontline show where when challenged to provide the figures for his alternative to cuts he fudged his way around firing out rhetoric and culminating in his cheap dig at Pat's gaff. A pathetic spectacle from a reminder of the fossilised socialists of a bygone age.

    I also vote for Jacko!
    Not alone should he take the "beard of the year" title, but he is an out and out certainty for "rear of the year" award also, as his capacity to talk through his rear is matched only by his capacity to spout fudge through his beard :p

    Hide of the year award has to go to Peter McLoone

    With a salary of over €155,000 per year he is the highest paid of the bunch, directorships at Fas, Aer Lingus - what a champion of the downtrodden, who is better placed to understand the plight of the ordinary wurker.

    This is a man so revered by those on the industrial average that he even gets away with not sporting a beard!

    Teeth of the year award goes to Blair Horan

    The only man in Ireland who could eat an apple through a tennis racquet. He is, apparently still working on securing that dental scheme ...

    Wordsmith of the year award for tact and diplomacy goes to Liam Doran

    ....

    Suppose we have to throw some little sop to "back off and shut up Doran"!!!
    He gets my vote, for sartorial elegance and peacock hair style.
    How long do think it takes him to get that ocean wave effect into his mane every morning :)

    Someone done a dissertation on the role of the beard tax in the westernization of Russia in the college I go to, so it must be important :D.

    Under Cover Agent of the Year - Paddy O'Shaughnessy BATU

    Come to think of it are they still around? the Secrect service of unions who single handedly drove pay in the construction industry through the roof.

    I seem to remember a bit of an issue with their leaders breaking on of their own pickets - and an even bigger issue over access to their accounts

    Maybe it should be the Where are they now award - BATU


    please dont send the heavies around to me:p
