Since we last met the Taoiseach has had his encounter with the flower pot. It was suggested he had been ambushed by one of the few members of the press who was unfailingly courteous and well-bred in dealing with every member of the public, including politicians. I say this as someone who does not have very amicable feelings towards the press. The issue was highlighted and treated in a way that created a moronic distraction from the real issues.
