    A bit late now Cowen for addressing the nation, since you've just sold our sovereignty away.

    Wow.... RTE are a shambles. Is it because they are in the governments pocket that they won't show the Vincent Brown questions or is it because they are so petty as to not want a TV3 broadcaster asking questions.

    The questions might have been rude but they needed to be asked. It was the same broadcaster who claimed Carol Coleman was great for asking similar questions of George W. Bush.

    It's utterly disgraceful that RTE cut it off when Vincent Browne was in the middle of asking the hard questions.

    We'll refuse to pay our TV licences to piss the **** off.

    Why would he ask a question? They clearly wouldn't answer it properly

    Did someone say there's a special ''Week in Politics'' on TV3 @ 10.30? It's still listed for 11.05.

    Circumstances change

    How many fcuking times is Clowen going to say that, they haven't changes since last week when he said there was going to be no bail out, muppet for the way he played this one and muppet for the way he's handled the entire economy since he's been in government.

    ****ing disgrace Clowen, resign.

    VB was doing fine but probably went OTT. RTE, by cutting the feed for some reason, could actually make Vincent seem like some sort of hero.

    What a useless press conference. No new information conveyed there at all, really.

    Anyone else feel kind of sorry for Brian Lenihan? He seems like a decent sort, and at least he answers the questions put to him coherently without waffling in circles to avoid them.

    Probably because they're all given a certain amount of time to ask questions and it was someone elses turn to ask a question.

    edit - and he gets the press conference closed down.
    Wrong - he was asking why there was no political accountability for what had happened. The banks boards were sacked, the regulator was retired, the central bank head was retired - but not a single politician quit.

    Why has not a single politician quit?
    because they are Fianna Failure and they don't give a toss about you or me

    Hardly anyone probably bothered to watch the thing as it was timed to coincide with the announcment of the X-Factor results.

    No, mostly Bertie actually. But Cowen should take a lot of it as he was minister for finance for a lot of time.
