    Heh. Just spotted that the subcaption for James O’Halloran is “Adam’s Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers”

    Has the man got any cop-on? Making a meal out of a prank? Now it will never be forgotten. Apology to his wife, lovely lady that she is – but does she get in beside him with her eyes closed?

    What will RTE have to apologise for next?

    This is ridiculous. If a portrait of Brian Cowen appeared on the railings of Merrion Square during the weekend would the Gardai come and seize them? Painting a picture of someone is not governed by law, although, obviously, hanging a such a portrait in the RHA or the National Gallery is a bit cheeky. There was nothing illegal about the painting itself, just the hanging of it.
