On his own website you can get some financial advice from the man himself….but it’s a lot more fun to play the Eddie Hobbs Republic Rip Off Game.

The aim of the game is to help Cork saviour and National Hero avoid the wrath of the bungling Irish government – to play you control a mini Eddie Hobbs standing outside the Dail trying to avoid missiles being hurled by a cartoon Bertie, Jackie Healy Rae and Mary Harney. It’s quite a basic game but it is good fun - don’t expect any playstation 2 graphics to be honest it looks more like a cross between Space Invaders and Oireachtas Report….
