…do a PR agency website

The agency in question is The Right Word. Check out its website’s home page. In fact the home page is the only page on the site…

Exhibit #1: The Right Word website. Just two logos, two addresses and two maps

The agency is run by Paddy Duffy, Bertie Ahern’s former press secretary and special adviser.

Duffy joined forces with Ahern when the latter entered the Dáil in 1977 and parted company with him in 1999.

Then he became a PR agency. Duffy travelled to the US as a guest of Fás in 2004 and 2006, even though he had no official role with the authority.

The cost of Duffy’s trips was charged to the Fás Science Challenge project, the same scheme which spent over €600k on transatlantic travel for the director general of Fás, Rody Molloy, his wife and senior Fás execs in a four-year period.

At least Duffy’s website keeps a very low profile, even if the man himself doesn’t.

…talk about making bread

We’ve mentioned Personally Speaking, the website for after-dinner speakers before. But why are they still giving major plugs to Brody Sweeney, Chairman and Founder of O’Briens Irish Sandwich Bars? Here’s some of their guff today:

“Brody’s best selling book ‘Making Bread – the real way to start up and stay up in business’ was published in 2006. His second book ‘Small to Tall – growing your business from it’s [sic] entrepreneurial roots’, will be published Autumn of 2008.”

But it’s now nearly autumn 2009, and the head office in the Irish Republic of O’Briens Sandwich Bars has been in examinership for a good while now…
