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!

No she's Mary McAleese the president

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