The Prime Ministers of France and Spain pull their cabinets out of their August holidays for emergency meetings about the economy. Gordon Brown is back on the job while high profile ministers deal with messy dossiers. Even Belfast’s politicians are managing signals of their presence — if only to get involved in disputes about interpretations of the weather, advancement of their own profiles, and comment on embarrassing flooding of expensive underpasses. But has anyone seen an Irish minister in the last few days? Apparently John Gormley was in Carlow and Martin Cullen is presumably keeping his head down in Beijing until Ireland win a medal. But reports of other sightings are few and far between. Maybe the right press releases weren’t ready to go.
UPDATE: They still haven’t changed the voicemail message at the office of the Taoiseach. It refers callers to St Luke’s!
