The ECB has been caught red-handed trying to change the text of a speech of one of its executive board members in Ireland on Friday. Joerg Asmussen had originally said that:

“the main reasoning [for the repayment of unsecured bondholders of Irish banks] was to ensure that no negative spillover effects would be created to other Irish banks or to banks in other European Countries.”

However, the reference to “banks in other countries” was whitewashed from the full transcript that was later released online on the ECB website. Presumably the fact that Irish taxpayers’ money is being used to support the owners of private banks in foreign countries is too embarrassing to admit – even for the ECB.

Here is a trailer for a new short film I produced with award-winning short film maker Ged Murray. It’s a horror comedy about a killer cat and stars Diet of Worms; Amy Stephenson and Shane Langan along side the internet cat Lila Leslie, of the Monaghan Leslies. The full film will be screening at the Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival in Cork next month. You might like it.
