The journal.ie just reported that she fell out of a boat whilst visiting Kilkenny floods.

Locals advised to watch out for big turds in the water

darkpagandeath · 31-12-2015 3:38pm

Row row row your boat gently down the stream.
When the boat overturned Joan let out a scream.

The Randy Riverbeast · 31-12-2015 4:06pm

If she can afford a boat she could have just used a pair of wellies.

thesandeman · 31-12-2015 4:06pm

LOL!! Just in time for thread title of the year.

GAAman · 31-12-2015 4:06pm

I thought witches were supposed to sink??

So much for that test

Mesrine65 · 31-12-2015 4:08pm

NEWSFLASH...impending Tsunami expected to hit Waterford/Wexford borders :eek:

castletownman · 31-12-2015 4:09pm

In a real-life example of Archimedes Principle, the flood levels are said to have increased a couple of inches during the brief period of time she was in the water

electrobanana · 31-12-2015 4:10pm

It looks like the lad in blue just tips the boat over:pac:

Might be the other way round, I think it was if you sink and drown, your are innocent. If you float and survive, you are a witch and will be burnt at the stake. Bit of a no win, that...

Dublin has the floozie in the Jacuzzi now behold the Bore in the Nore.

Malcolm600f · 31-12-2015 4:13pm

Would that be classified as a pleasure craft.. Shame on her been in breech of the law also..lol
The current legislation on the mandatory wearing of lifejackets/personal flotation devices
A. Pleasure Craft

Wear a PFD/Lifejacket - It's the LAW!

A pleasure craft with her on it? Don't think so. But I just thought the same thing talk about bad example and no life jackets in. Tut tut.

The liberal media are hiding that he was a water protester.*

*Note: This is a joke but this being boards Im sure there are a few people who would think this and I dont want people thinking Im with them.

They had a good laugh about their wet predicament.

Malcolm600f · 31-12-2015 4:21pm

Taxburden carrier · 31-12-2015 4:22pm

Better get used to it Joan...you're going to be dumped out on your ass again within two months !

RobertKK · 31-12-2015 4:22pm

Ann Phelan, the junior labour minister got her knickers wet too.

Delta2113 · 31-12-2015 4:23pm

Is she looking for floating voters?

recylingbin · 31-12-2015 4:23pm

Gardai have arrested the nore for assaulting miss Burton.
More to follow

ToddyDoody · 31-12-2015 4:26pm

It's must have been a bit uncomfortable going around with a wet arse out in the cold.

Pity no one bought her a real size car battery necklace for Christmas

Baggy Trousers · 31-12-2015 4:47pm

flas · 31-12-2015 4:49pm

Exactly. She's there to visit people who have all but lost their homes and thinks it'd be a good idea to arrive in a boat being pulled along by a local auld fella?

**** me like... woman of the people or what!

Always the risk of some sort of dysentery from the water though. She'll be ringing in the new year in a way she never imagined.

No doubt someone will be along to tell us Paul Murphy was seen around the area wearing sub-aqua gear.

I Am The Law · 31-12-2015 5:57pm

EPA investigating a large discharge of effluent into the river Nore.
