-> ''This is a great house. I really love the crude religious imagery. Yes, I like it.''

Whilst Ted is judging the local Lovely Girls beauty contest, Niamh Connolly (a feminist singer and strong critic of the Catholic church), turns up at the parochial house -- which a confused Dougal signs over to her. An appalled Ted tries to get in with Niamh by claiming to be a fan and she eventually gives him back his house -- at a cost. Rather than dine at a restaurant with the Lovely Girls winner Imelda at her expense, Ted must do the housework with Dougal whilst Niamh takes Imelda and the over-worked Mrs Doyle out for dinner instead.

* ConspiracyTheorist: Niamh Connolly claims that the Church "secretly had lots of potatoes during the famine, and they hid the potatoes in pillows and sold them abroad in potato fairs." Like many real conspiracy theorists, she ignores the facts in her statement - she claims the Pope had "closed down a lot of the factories that were making the potatoes", ignorant of the fact that potatoes are a plant (i.e. raw food; one could call it a vegetable), not a processed food; then she states that they were turned into "prisons for children" when evidence shows that the already-operating gaols (and the notorious workhouses) were more likely to be where the said children ended up.
