Shame on Cowen. Rather than admit his failures he has begun to demonstrate traits of his childhood fears of failure, of not being loved enough (or at all). We all know his policies and those of his Government have failed. The consequences of his arrogance and ignorance will be felt and experienced by generations of Irish who are increasingly swelling the ranks of overseas Irish.
Rather than accept his failings, Cowen has chosen to join the British in their national sport - blame everything on the French and on the Germans. What farce and what ineptitude.
Meanwhile, in an unlikely turn of events, Ireland and China have become blood brothers - at least in the eyes of the international financial markets. Ireland's woes alongside China's plans to rein in inflation with higher rates has negatively impacted world stock markets including the FTSE. Further evidence of the impact of the Irish Chinese Alliances is seen in the fall of the Canadian Dollar, and we can expect more, much more. Sources within Aer Lingus report many TD's booking flights to Beijing and Cowen is expected to announce a twinning of Dublin with Tiananmen Square in the New Year.
Meanwhile, Cowen and his government have been thrown a lifeline from the IMF who have offered an alternative to an EU bailout - in a move that may offer better protection for Irish independence and sovereignty.
Finally, Fianna Fรกil are considering anglising their name by dropping the fada to better reflect the current capabilities and performance of the party.

A view on Irish business and the Irish economy - and a spotlight on Ireland as it emerges (fingers crossed) from the quagmire of bad banks, bad business (not all) and even worse government!
