In what has to be one of the strangest press releases of the year, the Minister for Justice has confirmed the end of winter by announcing that clocks will indeed go forward this weekend. The press release issued this morning brings to an end weeks of speculation that clocks would not enter into a 'going forward' agreement and that each clock would engage in individual bargaining.
It is not clear whether the Tanaiste in announcing the start of summer is actually claiming credit for it. In this country that's a tactic that could fall flat on its arse.
Below is the listed the text of the press release issued by the Minister.
"REMINDER
CLOCKS GO FORWARD WEEKEND OF 24/25 MARCH, 2007The Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Mr. Michael McDowell, T.D., would like to remind the general public that "Summer time" will commence at 1.00 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time on Sunday 25 March, 2007. Clocks and watches should be put forward one hour at that time. Summer time will end at 1.00 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time on Sunday 28 October, 2007. 21 March 2007"
Who says he doesnt earn his keep.
