Expenses Olympics medals unlikely despite O’Donoghue’s effort

The manager of the country’s Expenses Olympics team has said that we do not have a realistic prospect of being on the podium at the 2010 Expenses Olympics in Dubai despite the patriotic efforts of Rody Molloy, John O’Donoghue and countless others who continue to spend selflessly for their country.

“This country needs heroes,” Mr Tommy Flathulach said. “We need everyone to get out there and spend like journalists.” Mr Flathulach was speaking at the launch of the Expenses Olympics slogan: ‘Never take a cab, when you can take a helicopter’.

Asked what he thought of recent resignations over expenses, he described them as a worrying trend. “These have been very bad for morale. And what purpose have they served? Accountability? Responsibility? “Where is it all going to end?”

Mr Flathulach said people needed to take stock of how their UK counterparts were spending and raise their game accordingly. “The Expenses Olympics is a team competition,” he added. “We can’t rely on Mary Harney for ever.”
