    Nice optics - the Irish flag sitting there. I suppose Cowen is going to wipe his arse with it?

    "intrest of every citizen regardless of political persuasion"
    "EU membership for the better . . .solidarity among EU members"

    Not in a position to give any more information tonight on the terms of the bailout?

    FFS, this is just the government insulting us even more.

    Brian, if you or anyone belonging to you reads this, then let me just say you have wasted your time tonight. And you have wasted ours. You are a liar, a scam artist & you should be in jail along with all your cronies for the wreck of a country you expect us to build up again.
    Seriously, get a life. It's gone beyond a joke at this stage.
