Given Fintan O'Toole's advice today to send Sinn Féin to negotiate I was wonderin who would you send with Brian Cowen(not compulsory) in a team of five(or more) to strong arm our European friends.

1. Mammy O'Rourke to cuddle them
2. David Norris to throw them
3. Pte. O'Dea to look down the barrel of a gun.
4. Gay Mitchell to be the submissive one
5. Gerry Kelly to sit there and stare at them

Any ideas?

Mammy O'Rourke could do the job on her own.

Great list SeathrunCeitinn.

Or perhaps our County GAA Board would do.

What about Sterling Ahern ? The greatest deal-maker of all time.

Definitely, an arch-fixer of Europe. He could definitely pull it off.

Duncan Stewart might intimidate the others

Can I add Jackie Healy Rae and Michael O'Leary to my list ?

Oh go on then. We currently have no agreed provision for adding names to the list.

Do the people on the list have to comply with the Granny Rule?
