Bono might be pally with top politicians like Blair, Bush and Clinton - but he'd rather spend a beautiful day in the boozer than exercise his franchise.
The U2 frontman just couldn't find the time to cast his vote for any of his local candidates in the Ballybrack ward of Dun Laoghaire Council on Friday last. The Ballymun native spent much of election day sipping tequila with friends such as Simon Carmody in the bar at the Herbert Park Hotel. Ballsbridge.
And whenn asked by reporters whether he voted the singer admitted: "I'm ashamed to say, I didn't".
"Uh oh, it looks like I messed up!" Bono added.
The hotel bar was a popular place as legendary singer Van Morrison was spotted there earlier.
Bono's failure to mark his cross will come as s surprise to many. After all. he has a long standing record of campaigning for a host of causes. The Northsider has been vocal on issues such as Sellafield, the North, and Third-World debt.
Maybe when it comes to politics, Bono thinks, 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for'...
