Many a slip 'twixt cup and lip

I passed by the offices of the (Irish) Instute of International and European Affairs, in North Great George's Street, this morning and some little thing caught my eye.

I went back for a look and saw that some concerned citizen had removed a banana skin from the footpath and placed it harmlessly on the base of the railings.


Would that an equally concerned Government had spotted such a skin before the Lisbon referendum and quarantined it as efficiently.
