Michael Healy-Rae met two of the Teletubbies this morning, and it’s like looking at a glimpse of a government from a different dimension.
Known for being one Ireland’s hardest and most brash politicians, Healy-Rae is probably the last TD you’d expect to see posing with Lala and Po from the beloved children’s programme.
The three of them met before the filming of this morning’s Ireland AM – where Healy-Rae is scheduled to talk politics and the Teletubbies are there to… take part in whatever is happening here.

Man, Po has gotten big.
Anyway, Ireland AM posted a picture of Healy-Rae with the two aliens (we’re pretty sure that they’re aliens) to their Twitter account:

We imagine that Danny Healy-Rae will be disappointed that his brother didn’t get to meet his favourite character from the show, though:
