Government To Give Everyone Tuesday Off So They Can Watch Tubridy Oireachtas Appearance
WISHING the ongoing RTÉ scandal could eternally distract the public from their own woeful performance, the coalition government has confirmed that Tuesday the 11th of July will be a public holiday.
“The move will allow everyone the free time to watch Ryan Tubridy and Noel Kelly’s appearances before the Oireachtas committees, it’s the least we could do,” said Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, when in fact the least he could do was alleviate the housing and health crises.
Those worried they will forget to set their alarms and therefore miss the appearances are in luck because the government will use a siren system normally reserved for only triggering in the event of an imminent nuclear apocalypse.
“That piercing, unrelenting screeching from the siren will be your reminder that shit is about to go down and to get comfy and switch on Oireachtas TV,” explained the siren operator.
“It’ll be great, how often in this day and age do you get the sense that we as a country are really experiencing a massive event in unison. It’s usually only during the Toy Show or something,” shared a TV expert, who confirmed Renault and Havaianas will serve as joint exclusive sponsors of the Oireachtas broadcast.
