Those bond markets and Irish debt

Paul Sommerville from Delta Index squares off against Government representative Eamon O Cuiv on RTE’s Primetime. Paul nails it and O Cuiv, well, doesn’t. In two parts.

    O Cuiv’s performance is a fine example of why our bond spreads are now at 6% and rising, isn’t it?

    I like the part where he invokes the gods at 3:40 – 3:52 in the first clip.
    “we’ll know the size of the hole then…. please god”.
    It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.

  3. Seamus says

    O Cuiv was a total disaster and Sommerville properly nailed him down. No longer will traditional FF rants from the likes of the minister wash with the public.

  4. Maggie says

    The premier representative of neo-republican Irish aristocracy said “if we analyse the depost base of Anglo Irish …” Yes, as an Irish peasant, I do believe that “we” would like to see contents of said deposit base – also the contents files relating to bondholders: who are so vital to our country that they are not allowed to face the consequences of their own betting losses. Yes-yes Mr O Cuiv, “we” do need this information!
