HAS SIMON HARRIS landed himself a new gig?

Looks like it.

On this evening’s Six One News, RTÉ listed the Fine Gael TD’s position as…

193241-image1450121582

Minister for State, Office of Pubic Works

And it didn’t go unnoticed.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

*immature chuckle*

For what it’s worth, RTÉ News copped the spelling error in time for the Nine O’Clock News and Harris was correctly described as “Minister of State, Office of Public Works” in the later bulletin.

Phew.

As for what Harris makes of the whole thing?

Well, he’s not thrilled by the prospect of balancing two government portfolios…

@dailyedge And I was finding the OPW demanding enough without taking on another office as well! #typos!
