And even when the houses are built the troubles keep on coming.
Look at Enda Kenny, unwittingly polluting the Lakes of Killarney every time he visits his holiday home in Kerry. The former Taoiseach is a dodgy septic tank away from being up to his bicycle pump in sewage.
From Iarnród Enda to Sewer Rod Enda.
Not only that, but the road to his little house where he owns the hearth and stool(s) and all is in a terrible state of repair. Endaâs bicycle wheels are more buckled than a pre-clampdown Saturday night in Portobello Plaza.
Micheál Martinâs predecessor made an unexpected appearance at leadersâ questions on Tuesday, very much to the Taoiseachâs surprise and most everyone else in the Dáil chamber. It was a welcome diversion from another bout of ratty exchanges between the Government and Opposition over the housing crisis.
