Irish politicians make themselves unsackable

Hot on the heels of self-appointed pay rises, Irish politicians today announced legislation that made it impossible to lose their jobs. Chairman of the sub-committee who introduced the No Accountability bill to the Dail (parliament), Ican Dowotiwant T.D., defended the latest affront to the Irish people by saying they were only enshrining in law what was obvious to the populace.

Political commentators agreed, using Martin Cullen (of the electronic voting fiasco amongst otthers), Mary Harney (of the shambolic over-bureaucratic health services) and dodgy dealing Taoiseach (prime minister) as prime examples. Both Vladimir Putin, the autocratic Russian premier, and Hugo Chavez, his Venezuelan counterpart, are said to be impressed and are sending high level delegations to study the bill.
