McGrath refers to Taoiseach 'on front page of Playboy magazine'

An independent TD mistakenly referred to Taoiseach Enda Kenny appearing on the "front page of Playboy magazine" today.

Speaking in the Dáil, Mattie McGrath appeared to get confused as to what magazine the Taoiseach appeared on the cover of last week.

"To see our Taoiseach, on this front page of Playboy magazine, I wish him well, I voted him as Taoiseach, but I expected a lot different of him," he said.

The Tipperary South/West Waterford TD was quick to correct himself, however.

"Sorry what magazine did I say? [Pause] Oh sorry. I meant to say … sorry, sorry … I'll correct that - I meant to say like a playboy on Time magazine."

Dun Laoghaire TD Mary Mitchell O'Connor, who was in the chamber at the time, was quick to point out to Mr McGrath that his speech on the Fiscal Bill could have been better prepared.

"Maybe you should be getting your advice, your economic advice, from Time magazine rather than Playboy magazine," she quipped.
