Our worst Ex Minister has at last gone "Off the Rails"
Mary O'Rourke has finally found her level.

When we saw this woman enthusiastically brandishing her new knickers in front of the RTE viewers – "Off the Rails", Wednesday 11. December – we felt strangely happy. After doing the worst damage any Minister could have done to this country's Internet development, leaving a terrible legacy that will take years to heal – if we're lucky – she seems to have finally found her level. Good for her and good for the country.
