The Pope comes to Ireland for a private visit to Cork. He lands at Dublin airport and is met by the bishop of Cork. The bishop commences to drive down the motorway. 'Look' said the Pope 'those clowns in the Vatican insist on driving me around in the pope mobile. I love to drive on the motorway, so can I drive for a while? Of course the bishop agrees and very quickly the pope is hitting 150 kms. and thoroughly enjoying the trip
Garda car spots the car and pulls it over. 'Ah boys' said the Garda ' you are really overdoing it a bit'. Then he sees the pope is driving, and excuses himself for a moment . He gets on the radio to the sergeant,
Sarge, he's says I need some advise. I've just stopped a VIP.
Sarge: Don't tell me you have stopped a TD(MP) again.
'No' says the Garda, 'someone more important than that'.
Sarge: Don't tell me you have stopped the Taoiseach. No said the Garda bigger more important again
Sarge: Christ, don't tell me you have stopped the President? No says the Garda, more important again than that.
Sarge: For Christ sake tell me who you have stopped.
Well says the Garda, I don't know, but he is very very important because the Pope is driving him!!
