Last weekend I went to the annual Street Performance World Championship in Merrion Sq. A weekend of street performers from around the world competing for votes, and of course cash from the audience. One of the stages was in front of Government Buildings and I was there watching Dr Kaboom set off fireballs within sight of the Taoiseachs office. I bet when Cowen dreams of fireballs outside his office he doesn’t picture the Gardai standing by and applauding, at least not yet.
