Comments on: NAMA – A Reality? http://thestory.ie/2009/10/29/nama-a-reality/ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:38:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Robert Browne http://thestory.ie/2009/10/29/nama-a-reality/comment-page-1/#comment-618 Robert Browne Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:53:02 +0000 http://thestory.ie/?p=464#comment-618 I was at David McWilliams Levithian event last night wed 28th of October. Boyle and Fahy were disgraceful they were truly pathetic. Boyle actually said that he did not believe in the NAMA plan either or words to that effect. So, why then does he expect the rest of us to believe in it, and pay for it for the next 15 years, while we watch our children having no jobs and the country zombified as a result of one man Brian Lenihan a man that was previously only deemed fit enough to hold the ministry of children. Not that children are not important but it now seems that he is prepared to sacrifice any and every child not yet even born of the fire of political expediency. Boyle should resign from politics after last nights truly surreal and daft performance. As for Fahy, he is what you say he is! A sad reflection on Irish political life and hence on Irish society as a whole, which seems to be very, very sick at the moment. Mr. Lenihan needs to meet with Peter Mathews, a banker, who is the voice of reason and has formulated the best solution to NAMA from "outside" the six banks. People were bewildered by these politicians last night. Disgraceful was all I could hear people saying all around me as I stood at the back of a packed hall! Maybe, that sentiment was being far to kind. I was at David McWilliams Levithian event last night wed 28th of October. Boyle and Fahy were disgraceful they were truly pathetic.

It looks like the only thing that will save us from the hole that is NAMA will be the EC, the central bank (independent under the Maastricht Treaty) could surely also being much more to stop it. Deeply depressing yes, but if you can't have a laugh, you can't have anything.
