YESTERDAY, IRELAND HAD its first non-punitive Budget in several years AND took away a possibly-crucial point from an away qualifier with Germany.
(AND got its own Nespresso shop.)
It was a big day. A big day. And when John O’Shea’s last minute equaliser left the German team with egg on their faces (Ei auf ihren Gesichten), Irish people knew that the recession was essentially over.
There was widespread economic rejoicing on Twitter
And we haven’t forgotten *that* flag
Essentially, it was the highlight of the Budget

There was widespread mad triumphalism
One, eh, feisty MMA artiste suggested starting a barney
And there were memories made
However, a pastry chef from Galway may be experiencing some regret
