"Good evening delegates, and to all of you watching and listening at home. I realise tonight as I talk to you that many of you here in this hall and around the country have worries for yourselves, your families and your future. I have no such worries because I am one of the highest paid politicians in the world in spite of the fact that I am head of a very small country with a comparatively small GDP.
We are living in uncertain times and people are concerned about their jobs, their businesses and their homes. I do not share these concerns because my job is locked in. I am the son of Bertie, in political terms. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Economic treason has been committed by those who have squandered the billions of Euro's that were collected in tax receipts over the past decade.
It is the party in government who have recklessly endangered the Irish economy, the cultural heritage of the nation and the working people.
It's not just simply a matter of guilt by association, but guilt through implication and direct involvement in the wastage and careless spending of the peoples finances.
Sight seeing trips over the Killarney national park will not make the situation in the west any better and can the Republic afford to have an air taxi service for TD's?
The "cheap-shots" of this country have finally had enough of being taken by the scruff of the neck and told to do this or accept that.
Now as the practical vision that was the national development plan is lay in ruins all round the country, a new opportunity presents itself.
The voice of the people, the protest of the pensioner and civil servant, the cheap shots in the forgotten west, all can see a new vision on the horizon.
The Visions of certain change..
Heh! thanks for the giggle caveman. Sadly it's all probably true
not funny ha ha, but funny that Ireland is now a virtual monarchy with Fianna Fail and their friends assuming the role of the royal family. Cowen paid more than Obama, the Governor of the Central bank paid more than the man who now does the main part of what his job should be (monetary policy). I could go on..
Lenihan (aka dirty thieving ba*stard) refused in the Dail this week to entertain the idea of a cap on bankers pay. This should not even be discussed as part of the capitalisation. It should have been a condition of the bank guarantee. The same bank guarantee that will haunt our nation..
Strange that the insurance fees on the loans banks made to each other shot up after a certain person cried recession before there was one.
These fees are siphoning monies away from the banks and many such loans are made between banks. Not in the form of one big amount but many smaller ones instead. And on all of these a fee is imposed.
Wonder why the banks are in trouble?
