BARACK OBAMA FAMOUSLY landed himself in hot water for joining in with the Danish Prime Minister on a ‘selfie’ earlier this year. Eamon Gilmore even tried his hand at the ‘craze’ that’s been sweeping the planet (it’s the word of the year, you know) in a slightly more dignified pic at the Mandela memorial service.
And now, it appears, Martin McGuinness is the latest political leader to try his hand at self-photography. The Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister snapped the above photo in his native Derry on Christmas Day, before posting it on Twitter with the message:
Derry Walls y’day. Photographer? Me.
And yes, the poodle really is called ‘Buttons’.

Update: The readers have spoken — and we’re now pretty certain it’s a Bichon Frisé.
