My feature on the Sarkozy trip to the UK in the Review section of today´s Independent
Don't you just hate when your favourite soap opera focuses on one boring plot at the expense of a far more exciting one in the background?
That's how it felt this week watching the latest developments in the world's most entertaining real-life super-soap, Blingasty, starring French president Nicolas Sarkozy and his glamorous wife Carla Bruni. On the day that France's first couple touched down in the UK for a two-day state visit, a picture emerged of Mme Bruni-Sarkozy from 1993 in which she artfully posed in the nude, only barely covering her modesty.

About Me
- Declan Cashin
- I'm 28, from Kilkenny originally and living in Dublin for the past six years. I graduated with an MA in Journalism from DIT in 2006. I work as a feature writer for the Irish Independent and the Irish Examiner. I worked in the Irish Daily Star for 18 months as a news and features subeditor, before going full-time freelance in January 2008. Over the years I've also reviewed books for The Irish Times, as well wording it up for Gay Community News (GCN), the Sunday Tribune, the Irish Daily Mail, The Event Guide, The Dubliner and The Spanner, as well as UCD Today and UCD Connections magazines. I'm occasionally known to pop up on The Last Word on Today FM and on various shows on NewsTalk 106-108FM, such as Tom Dunne, Lunchtime with Eamon Keane, The Right Hook, Culture Shock, and Weekend Blend, and have also made censors nervous on Spin, Phantom and RTE 2FM on Dave Fanning's show. I've made some inroads into TV, appearing on The Morning Show with Sybil and Martin, and Midday (pre-Sisterhood takeover), both on TV3. Watch out Tubridy!
