The Summer is nearly a distant memory at this stage, as students across the land get ready to head back to the claustrophobia of the classroom and teachers pull their hair out with a silent tear in their eye (poor things).
There is one lecturer however, who is eager to get back to educating his pupils - our own triathlete Taoiseach extraordinaire, Mr.Varadkar (sorry - Leo). He has decided to come at the semester with a fresher approach and has come up with a sick concept for his posse, "Let's do the roll call according to your Twitter handles".
All the ministers are loving this new angle with @TheCovenator and @HumptyDumhreys sounding elated. Leo wants them all to document everything on Snapchat, but it seems to be causing a bit of confusion among the bunch, especially @PDiddyDonohue who is taking it too literal, "my attention span is completely shocked to pieces at this stage".
They discuss "The single most important event to have happened in Irish history" (you'll be amazed at the answer) and start to focus on Canadian studies for their class trip to the maple leaf nation, as it's very important (to Leo - wink wink).
The Gift Grub microphone snook into the classroom and caught it all.
Have a listen to their first day of class in full here:
