I believe that the finest surgeons in the country, after many long hours, and in an incredibly complicated surgery, which will put Ireland at the forefront of anal surgery world-wide, have managed to remove Pat Kenny from Mr. Sutherland's arse. Mr. Sutherland was too weak to comment, but he is surrounded by his loving family. Jane Sutherland, speaking on behalf of the family, said," **** off. It wasn't what he intended.Now, leave him alone or I'll end you".

It’s a point echoed by a former senior civil servant who worked with Sutherland in 1980s Dublin. The retired official praises Sutherland’s liberal migration stance but suggests that, if the mass immigration goes wrong, the Irish-born plutocrat can escape to a gated community in Switzerland. “Typical Irish bulls**t,” snaps Sutherland. “That’s typical of the Irish, to sneer.”
It’s a complex so deeply rooted that it’s difficult to discern which came first: the snide Irish begrudgery towards Sutherland’s undeniable achievements or his thin skin towards criticism. The skin is particularly thinly stretched over his career at Goldman Sachs International, the investment bank’s UK subsidiary, where he has just finished up after 20 years as chairman. In September the investment bank announced a £2 million donation to aid Syrian refugees. Given total revenues of $40 billion in 2014, and a reputation for extracting profits from every kind of global instability, isn’t Goldman Sachs’s Syrian refugee contribution a bit of a joke? “The only people who have ever raised the name of f***ing Goldman Sachs to me in this context of this debate are the Irish; it’s totally irrelevant,” he says.
