Not content with disrupting Dail proceedings for weeks by wanting to be both government and opposition, the four TDs comprising the Regional Independent Technical Group have now wrought chaos at a local wedding.
Michael Lowry, Barry Heneghan, Danny Healy-Rae and Gillian Toole turned up uninvited to the ceremony and when asked if they were with the bride or groom claimed both and stood four abreast in the middle of the church aisle, blocking the wedding party from passing.
There were extraordinary scenes in Leinster House yesterday with Dail proceedings suspended several times as four regional TDs who were part of government formation talks, believed they should be allowed form an ‘opposition’ technical group.
Naturally, this drew outrage from the actual opposition. However, the foursome have hit back by releasing individual statements to the media.

Leo Varadkar, who today announced his shock departure as Taoiseach and leader of Fine Gael, will go into the history books as one of the leaders of this country.
DTTN salutes Varadkar’s many great achievements in office such as [insert something good here-Ed] and [Anything at all? Surely there must be something – Ed].
Many luminaries of Irish society have taken to social media noting that Varadkar was indeed Taoiseach from 2017 to 2020 and again from 2022 to today.
The man himself had this to say on what was sure to have been an emotional occasion for someone:
“Completing Taoiseach is one of my great achievements, up there with completing Football Manager and acquiring a wardrobe just for socks.
Some have called me Thatcher in a suit, but there’s more to me than that. I sometimes wear business casual, and shorts in summer.
My decision is both personal and political, but mainly because my party is unelectable with me at the helm. I look forward to my legacy being romanticised by the Irish media while I sail away on the private gravy train.”
DTTN wishes Varadkar all the best in his future endeavours and looks forward to celebrating our next Fine Gael overlord.
The football world has been rocked today by the announcement that Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

domestic tourists seeking to escape the drudgery of the world’s longest
lockdown.
The facilities are designed to accommodate individuals travelling
into Ireland from high Covid risk countries, not those already residing in the
country.
An Taoiseach Micheal Martin has praised the country after it was revealed that Ireland has the highest daily Covid-19 rate in the world.
The figures, which were confirmed earlier this week, put Ireland ahead of even confirmed basket case nations such as post-Brexit Britain and the patriotic USA.
