Former Taoiseach (and professional chancer) Bertie Ahern was asked about falling shares in the banking sector (News at One, 2nd report 2nd item).
“I think anyone in shares has to look at the long run. If you’re trying to make a quick buck, it’s not the business to be in.”
That’s right Bertie – politics is the business for a quick buck.
I don’t understand all this talk about corruption in Irish politics, sure I met my mate Frank Dunlop only three days ago in an obscure hotel on the east coast and he assured me that there is nothing at all corrupt in Irish politics. Me thinks you have it wrong Anthony !
