Description

'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister is embarrassed when he reads out an old speech to the House by mistake and says that he only got away with it because it was about recycling. Refers to an embarrassing mix-up when duty minister, Jonathan Coleman was charged with introducing the first reading debate on the Taxation (International Investment and Remedial Matters) Bill in Mr Dunne's absence. But in an administrative mix-up he was given a speech Mr Dunne delivered on July 23, 2008, on the Taxation, International Taxation, Life Insurance and Remedial Matters Bill. He read it out for several minutes before noises started being made from the opposition benches about its content, but he continued to the end.
