The Rubberbandits have received an honorary award from The University of Limerick.
The comedy duo were given the prestigious auditor’s medal from the college’s Debating Union.
The award grants the recipient honorary lifetime membership status and is given to those who have made significant contributions to debate and discourse in Irish society.
Winners: The comedy duo were awarded at UL
“The reason we have got this award is because politics and discourse has got to such a state that people who are supposed to be making sense no longer make sense and the man with the bag on his head is the only person making sense,” said Rubberbandit Blindboy Boatclub.
“I believe in removing solemnity from all situations because all it does is serve pomposity.”
“When you remove solemnity from a situation you can actually see the real issues and you can talk to people’s hearts without any of the b******t.”
“At an initial glance it might seem like we have chosen a different recipient but the Rubberbandits have developed a very new age way of discussing current issues in a clever and unique way, that is still simulating discourse,” said UL Debating Union committee member Billy Sutton.
