This week has been a Seanad love-in around these parts.. Let’s finish off the week on the same note. Seanad and NAMAlicious!

Ouchies, McOuchies. FG’s Paschal Donohoe on yet another Harris riposte.

As the voting on the amendment continued late into the evening, a red dot appeared on the voting monitor somewhere on the independent’s benches. Vote after vote on the amendments, that red dot voted with the Government. Bloggers were at a loss to begin with and then came the confirmation that independent Senator backing the Government was Joe O’Toole.

Joe O'Toole votes against his Amdt

Hehe, biscuit taken and scoffed!

Not to be outdone, our favourite Green Senator Dan Boyle, was tweeting in his own special fashion. A touch of penis envy?

Dev would have been so proud..
