    VB is simply asking the obvious questions that would occur to any person living in this country with some degree of intelligence. Its amazing with a room full of journalists that it falls to VB to ask the obvious, and seek some kind of accountability. The typical way in Ireland is not to ask an awkward or relevant question, least it might hinder ones future career prospects. It has to be a major crises before the obvious common sense question can be asked especially on issues of governance.

    Brian Cowen was the worst Taoiseach in the history of the Irish State. He presided over the horrendous bank bailout of 2008, which cost the Irish people a whopping 64.1 billion euro. He was in charge when Ireland lost our economic and fiscal sovereignty in 2010 as part of the EU/IMF bailout. Also, he was a horribly incompetent Minister for Finance from 2004 to 2008, majorly increasing Government spending and treating the State's finances recklessly just before the 2008 crash happened. These are the facts. Furthermore, he was a poor Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Health in previous ministerial roles. History will remember him as the worst Taoiseach we ever had.

I was a Bricklayer imagine now putting me in a job as the minister of health, this is my biggest problem with how the country is been run. Not just our country but any country that is supposed to be a democracy. Let the people who are in there own profession into that particular job.

They saved the Euro. Ireland closed 3 of its 6 banks and jailed, at least, some of its bankers. Economics doesn't have a flag. Ireland was screwed on the bondholders, but that's a different story.
