Another day in the Celtic Tiger

Irish Times (subs. req'd) -- The Dublin City Council press office has defended its use of female models to promote council projects, on the basis that tabloid newspapers would not cover the event if models were not present ...

In April two young women wearing short denim skirts and tight vests were hired by the council to pose, holding a large pipe, alongside Minister for the Environment Dick Roche, to publicise the council's water mains replacement programme.

A few days later the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Vincent Jackson, posed with lingerie model Katy French to promote the launch of the city's new eco-friendly taxi service.
