We have both! The Taoiseach is like a prime minister, and then the President is more on the ceremonial side of things, a diplomat.
Our current president, Michael D. Higgins, is known for having two huge Bernese Mountain Dogs that show up at lots of events.
The well deepens again. Actually more like a drainage ditch, swale, or culvert though (drainage engineers help me out here) and actually rather shallow.

I am planning to move to Ireland once I finish uni, and those names already scare me

I love that this reference still works even though this show was probably off the air even when I was old enough to remember it and I'm in my 50s.

I don't have the foggiest clue what this is referencing. This whole panel is just completely random to me.

Wouldn't this make more sense if the dog was behind the desk?

Funny that the artist kinda gave up on the “dog” when s/he got below the knee. Just slapped some human-like appendages on there. Can’t unsee it.

So funny story Timmy never fell down a well.... But there may have been a mine shaft.

Forget Timmy. It was time to make some cut to the personnel anyway.
