Minister made deepfake photos of himself to highlight issue of identity theft, but got caught in a transatlantic spat over rude behaviour at the Portal

Man of action: An AI-generated image of Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe to illustrate how easy it is to commit identity theftAnd well done to the people at this week’s European Anti-Financial Crime Summit for coming up with a publicity wheeze guaranteed to pull in more than a few column inches for their conference in the RDS.

1/2 I usually get a lot done in a day but this is ridiculous! Attended the European Anti-Financial Crime Summit this morning whereAI Paschal addressed the audience, saying it was wonderful to see so many people in attendance as the subject was of huge importance to the business and financial sector. He then announced he was speaking to them from South Korea and delivered the rest of his speech in Korean.But at least it made a change from the usual double Dutch.

“He really should enjoy himself, chill out ... I’ll go back to show him fun. I’ll show him my Big Apples.” Thing is, the collective name for a group of owls is “a parliament”, which is very appropriate under the circumstances. At the moment the owlets “look like little aliens” because they have no fur or feathers. In a week or two they get fluffy and cute and after about a month they get curious and start looking out of the hole, eventually venturing out on to the veranda to practice their flapping before learning to fly.

“I understand how you feel. It’s disappointing to think you could have joined if you had known about the event, especially given the fact that you are the sitting TD for Louth/East Meath constituency. It’s only fair that you should have been invited too.”Of course, Fergus is retiring from national politics and will not be running in the next general election. So maybe John forgot about him.
