Here's one we could have foreseen.
The Wright Report into the shadowy underworld of the Irish Department of Finance, the government department responsible, among other achievements, for overseeing the financial implosion of the Irish economy and IMF bailout, has found that the Department continues to suffer from a 'shockingly low' level of expertise in the form of qualified economists working at the Department, while also shedding light on ousted leader Cowen's claims that he wasn't briefed on the imminent meltdown of the economy before it all went bust.
It sounds strange doesn't it, unexpected? But not only is it happening at the moment, with the European Commission deciding to press further legal action against Ireland for continued non-compliance with an environmental directive so uninteresting that even the newspapers reporting the story didn't bother explain what it concerned, but it's costing Ireland a good deal of money in the process.
It's part of a long tradition, though.
