THE TAOISEACH WAS in Naas today, touring the new Kerry Group building.

Along with Enda Kenny were Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney and junior minister Jimmy Deenihan.

All was going will until the three got in a lift together and this happened:

A technician was called:

And, after a brief few minutes, the three were freed.

As they restarted their tour, they, perhaps wisely, took the stairs.

Deenihan later said the lift was a “good meeting room”, so silver linings.
