When they released the DVDs they coloured everything, apart from the Minister For Hardship sketch to which they put words on the screen saying that it was due to reasons of economy (a joke because when the DVDs came out the Celtic Tiger was still on.
I'm afraid I'm old enough to remember this when it was on TV. As far as I can recall the Minister for Hardship was a send up of the Fine Gael leader Liam Cosgrave who was Taoiseach in the 1973-77 coalition government. There was another character they did, Richie Ruin, who was meant to the the then Minister for Finance Richard Ryan.
Michael o leary won't run Ireland. He admitted that he couldn't get elected as a rat catcher in the Mullingar Burrough. He is a character and there is enough of them in the government as it is.

Great Clip - This was "wicked" for its time - when Cosgrave lost the election in 1977 it was the end for Hall's Pictorial
