Micheál Martin was serenaded with Elvis Presley tributes during his final Dáil session as Taoiseach on Tuesday.
However, the Fianna Fáil leader was quickly brought back down to earth as he was told he is more like Daniel O’Donnell than the Blue Suede Shoes crooner.
Mr Martin and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar will swap roles on Saturday as part of the historic coalition agreement between Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party.
