You know ribbons don't grow on trees?

You know ribbons don’t grow on trees?

Tanaiste Joan Burton was in West Dublin today announcing 80 new jobs at a software firm, when she unintentionally entered the #YouHadOneJob Hall of Fame.

The ceremonial ribbon cutting was set to be captured by photographers, when Joan jumped the gun and snipped the thing in half too early.

Luckily, herself and Jobs Minister Richard Bruton used their initiative and overlapped the two pieces of ribbon to give the illusion that it was still one piece of ribbon.

Newstalk’s Paraic Gallagher captured the moment of genius (turn on the volume).
