Fukushima - How would the two Brians have dealt with the crisis?

they would have stolen all the money and bolted i suppose

They would have called in Mothra in a consultancy capacity, he ultimately would have made the problem worse and it would be later revealed through leaked documents that he was grossly overpaid.

Political commentators and opposition parties suggest in hindsight that Rodan would have been a better choice.

If Ireland has a nuclear reactor that was melting down. How would Fat Brian Cowen and Lying Brian Lenihan have dealt with it?

Well first of all they would have denied that there was a crisis, and assure the public that the reactor was not 'overheated'.
Then as the damn thing was quite clearly exploding in their faces they would have commissioned a report, set up an enquiry and finally tried to blame overheating on other problem reactors around the world before attempting so solve the problem by burying the reactor core in a protective cocoon of taxpayers money......

What crisis, we reject that accusation that the animals are dying from radiation. It is international conditions that has caused this problems and I made my decision of not putting in any containment measures was based on best practice.


We do not need any help on from the international agencies with this problem.

Ps Vincent Brown just don't start.

Mary please, There will be time for the frozen pudding wagon later. You still owe me ten more Iroquois Twists.

Regardless of leadership, how would Ireland deal with it? The Japanese cleared the roads, that's important in emergencies, have the roads cleared for ambulances etc. in Ireland I don't think that would happen.

If the same thing happened in Ireland, even if we had a fascist government giving out orders that make sense it would be the end for us.

Brian Cowen would insist that no-one told him the damned thing was melting down. Confronted with civil service reports of the previous year stating that melt-down was imminent he would argue that none of those reports said it actually was melting down.

Brian Lenihan would claim that the situation was well under control and that a corner had been turned without indicating what the corner was or where it lead. The radiation leaks, he would insist, had been contained and will be sold to the EU in return for substantial funds. However, it would transpire that the canned radiation had been handed to the EU in return for a bail-out loan to be repaid by the Irish taxpayer at eight percent interest per hour.

Gormley would insist that it was all the last FG/Labour government's fault as a result of their allowing the reactor to be built upon a lesser crested newt.

It wasn't us..it twas the Lehmans Bros that did it...
