The Highwayman comes riding...

Fianna Fail's Chief Highwayman Brian Lenihan
"In the name of the Taoiseach, myself
and the unholy spirit of Fianna Fail:
I order you to stand and deliver!"

Well, yes, I can see the picture: the handsome highwayman Brian comes riding... robbing us all of the last bit of money and dignity we have left.
But I wonder who "the landlord's daughter" might be who is waiting for him.
There are three females in the cabinet, all named Mary to confuse the public. So, let's see...
Mary Coughlan?
Yes, she has something of a landlord's daughter, but on second thoughts she'd be more a milkmaid.
Mary Hanafin>
No, certainly not! School mistress cum organist and jam maker, yes, but not the highwayman's darling.
That leaves us with Mary Harney.
And she fits the bill quite nicely, as she's been robbing us in her own right for many years. And in her current position she makes sure that less and less of us survive hospital treatment. So she reduces the numbers Brian has to pay pensions to...
What a happy couple!
