tánaiste and justice minister michael mcdowell is driving to the rté studios for a radio interview with pat kenny. after enduring a very long and tedious car ride to donnybrook, during which he reprimands a number of thugs for urinating against a tree whilst a gang war erupts in the background, mcdowell eventually lands at his destination only to be on the receiving end of taoiseach bertie ahern's taunts via mobile phone. alas not a very good impression is left by the rté staff on the minister's arrival, with marian finucane being discovered indoors in a very compromising position with a cigarette whilst some very suspect plants arrive in the studio as kenny prepares to go on air. fearing that he has been set up, mcdowell flees the building in panic, throwing the morning radio schedule into crisis.
