    Is this the thing where Dara O'Brian and Gabriel Byrne talked about how to save Ireland, then went for pints with Bill Clinton?

    Think Dara O'Brian was representing the London Irish & Gabriel Byrne was representing the Starving Artist American Irish

    I just don't know of anyone who was there who was representing the actual Irish.

    Think that might be the problem.

    Bono turns up at everything.

    Nearly certain I saw him wispering tactics to Declan Kidney this morning on RTE.

    Pretty sure I saw him firing a Heavy Machine Gun off the back of a pick-up in Libya this afternoon on BBC

    U2's manager Paul McGuinness was also in attendance. He probably sees this as an opportunity to further his and the music industry's own goals more than anything else.

    This greedy so-and-so would love nothing more than to see us all pay an additional levy on the cost of our internet connections whether we download music or not.
