CLARE TD Cathal Crowe (FF) has described his embarrassment after being defecated on by a seagull while out cycling his bicycle.
The Meelick native – a regular user of the Dublin Bikes when conducting business in the capital – may have to rethink his advocacy of the bike scheme after a Dublin seagull took aim at the Fianna Fáil TD today (Thursday).
The former primary school teacher said, “A Dublin seagull shat all over me as I pedalled my way to Heuston Train Station… He was a sharp-shooter and got my pants, jacket but also my face and hair.”
The aptly named politician quipped that the score was “Seagull 1-0 Crow(e)” before admitting that he did not have a change of clothes for the rest of his day’s business.
“I’m now on the train heading home to Clare – apologies in advance to the groups I have lined up to meet this afternoon – I look a sorry state and probably smell of ‘Eau du Gul’.
