Scope and content
Framed tshirt of black and white picture of Brian Lenihan Snr with the caption 'Phone call, what phone call.'
This t-shirt mocks Brian Lenihan during the 1990 Presidential campaign. The aging statesman was caught spoofing in one of those classic Irish Presidential campaigns (long and bitter). With his credibility damaged, Lenihan lost the election to Mary Robinson.
