Notes	The poem alludes to a number of political scandals in Ireland and satirizes how media and news is presented and consumed in Ireland. The references in the news report to falling oil prices, killings in Baghdad, and protests in Bellanaboy Co. Mayo against construction of a gas refinery by Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil and Vermilion Energy Trust though seemingly unrelated are allusions to human rights abuses and environmental exploitation because of vested interests.
