“If the Taoiseach’s Government knew Ango Irish Bank was insolvent and he asked the Irish taxpayer to bail it out and to pay the cost we are now paying for it, that was and is economic treason. I stand over that.”
Eamon Gilmore speaking in the Dail in January 2011
From NamaWineLake:
Unfortunately Eamon Gilmore’s position has shifted over the past 12 months. What was “treason” in January 2011 – Eamon accused Brian Cowen of what “was and is economic treason” – has undergone a 180-degree about-turn and is now the preferred and adopted position of the Government in which Eamon’s party is a vital coalition partner, in which Eamon is Tanaiste (deputy prime minister) and which has a grandly-titled “Economic Management Council” consisting of Eamon, Minister Noonan, Minister Howlin and An Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
