EARLIER TODAY, TWO members of the Garda Dog Unit paid a visit to Leinster House.

They were there, TheJournal.ie was told, to carry out a sweep of the houses of parliament before TDs and senators arrived for the new term today.

Bruno and Tucker found nothing to write home, or to the Phoenix Park, about, but one former parliamentarian was happy he wasn’t around.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Former TD turned MEP Luke Ming Flanagan tweeted to us that he’d ‘gotten out in the nick of time’.

We’re sure he was being tongue in cheek. Right?

@thejournal_ie got out of there in the nick of time. #EuroMing #Phew
