Do you think those tribunal questions were getting too close to the truth ;)

Sorry guys. A taoiseach is basically a prime minister. He's the guy who runs the country here. Anyway he's stepping down as there's been a lot of controversy lately about him. He's not doing a very good job of running the place.

I know! About time! :thumbsup2

Who's the woman that meets the teams at the 6 Nation Rugby Games in Dublin then - I thought she was the Irish PM?

No she's Mary McAleese (http://www.president.ie/) the president

Edited to add - her power is not on the same level as George W
