Madam, – Fianna Fáil’s unpopularity has little to do with Brian Cowen “taking tough but necessary economic decisions” as he reportedly told the Fianna Fáil ardchomhairle (Home News, February 27th). It has everything to do with the fact that he and Bertie Ahern played a huge part in destroying this country’s economy. He was the Minister for Finance who oversaw the false boom that bankrupted the country.
It is now hard to have to listen to him talk about his determination to solve our problems! – Yours, etc,
