The announcement drew quite the reaction from members of Dáil Éireann, noise that was punctured only by an anonymous TD who could clearly be heard making bleating noises in the background (skip to around 0:20 below).
The Taoiseach certainly got a kick out of it anyway; maybe he was thinking he had seen something like this before.
