Official: Take a seat. Can I offer you any refreshment?
Candidate: Whatever you’re having will be fine.
Official: Barman? Two more pints of Guinness please. And two Black Bush chasers.
Now then. So what credentials do you bring that are relevant to the appointment to a State board?
Candidate: I can drive.
Official: Excellent. {Ticks box}. That could come in useful. Anything else?
Candidate: I’m a good friend of Enda.
Official: Fantastic. There’s a long precedent for mates of Taoisigh being appointed to State boards.
Any other capabilities that would support your selection?
Candidate: Um. Not that I can think of.
Official: Perfect. We may have to go through the motions of interviewing other candidates but I think you can rest assured that you have all the attributes required.
Candidate: Thank you.
Official: Not at all. Have you any other engagements today?
Candidate: Not really. I just need to register at my local Garda station as usual.
Official: Great stuff. A little community service can only enhance your literature at the General Election. Another pint?
Candidate: I’d better not. I have the van.
Official: Ah sure not to worry about that. We can sort out the penalty points. Barman? Same again here…
Note: We are not at liberty to identify the official or candidate.
