    I assume this is the meeting where the incident was purported to have occurred (Cook had recently been appointed Foreign Sec.).

    It seems the Taoiseach did have a one-on-one meeting with Cook, but given the subject matter it was unlikely to have been spontaneous.

    The Taoiseach also refers to Mr Cook's visit, so it appears to have been in Ireland, not Robin Cook's office.

    Hang on, are implying that Bertie Ahern may not have been telling the truth? ;)

    Serious question.

    Were you even born when Thatcher was PM?

    Yes, Spitting Image was the only joy I got from her being alive. I don't think it makes a difference anyway, I've learned more about the troubles when they were over then when they were on going thanks to the interweb.

    Were you alive when Liam Cosgrave our Fuherr was alive?

    A picture of Ollie was hanging in Ireland? Doubt that.
