Although the Irish people are still angry over the findings of the Mahon Tribunal they’ve venting their rage through comedy in the form of inventive movie titles on Twitter.
Last week Bertie Ahern, Ireland’s former Minister for Finance and former Taoiseach, was found by the Mahon Tribunal to have lied about massive sums of cash which had been lodged into his personal accounts.
Hundreds of Twitter users went online this week and entered their ideas for the #BertieFilms hastag, coming up in a title for the former leaders biopic.
The winner so far is Geraldine Rock with “PS I Scammed You”. This is in reference to Ahern’s daughter’s first book, Ceclia Aherne’s “PS I Love You” which was made into a movie starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Bulter.
Other front runners were Rommel Burke’ “Lost in Transaction” and “Silence of the Scams” by Shane Coogan.
