THOUGH LIMERICK’S City of Culture struggles have divided many, there has been agreement on one thing – the Rubberbandits boys would be excellent candidates for the CEO job.

We at DailyEdge.ie put forward that the Rubberbandits have done a great deal to represent Limerick as a City of Culture, and Paddy Power even offered odds on the Moyross rappers becoming the next CEO (500/1, but odds nonetheless).

There were hopes that the press conference earlier today would officially place the lads on the board:

But they crushed all our spirits in one simple tweet.

The fact is they’re just too busy to take the job:

But they are wishing temporary head Mike Fitzpatrick every good wish for the future:

Limerick City, rest at ease – your new interim City of Culture CEO is fully supported by the Rubberbandits. Everything is going to be OK.
