Country counts Halloween cost as politicians run amok
The country was this morning counting the cost after a weekend of savage debauchery as gangs of Government ministers, TDs and their aides ran riot.
A Garda spokesman told of scenes of public indecency, assaults on the moral fibre of the nation and bizzarre and inappropriate use of fireworks as the elected representatives drove decent people off the streets.
“There is very little we can do about the politicians,” a Garda source said. “They are bitterly disappointed at the state of the economy and they are taking it out on the common folk.”
“They always cause trouble when they come back to their constituencies but Halloween brings out the worst in them,” he added.
Gardai spoke to Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern about criminalising politicians but he just smiled.
A Dail spokesman said it was a matter for individual politicians whether they claimed for fireworks on expenses.
