Great episode of VB last night, wherein Vincent asked Dominic Hannigan [Labour TD] 10 times why we paid €1.5bn to unsecured bondholders in AIB two weeks ago. Needless to say, he didn’t get an answer.

One chap emailed the show to say: “This is dreadful. Repetitious, boring bullying; insane asking the same question and getting the same answer. Downright embarrassing. Little preparation of programme. The question has been answered repeatedly.”

to which Vincent responded:

“I think it is valid we pursue the squandering of vast sums of public monies to pay off debts we do not own, debts not covered by the bank guarantee and not demanded under the deal with the troika. This is a gigantic sum of money, desperately needed for, among other matters, job stimulation. I have not heard an explanation for the payment of these unguaranteed bonds. I intend continuing to ask that question.”

We all partied.

U2 Singer Bono was brought to a meeting on a yacht in the south of France by Patrick McKillen and Derek Quinlan that settled the sale of the London’s luxury Savoy Hotel, it emerged yesterday.

“I recall that I sat beside Prince A1-Waleed and Bono sat next to me. Mr McKillen, on the other hand, sat at the other end of the yacht and made no contribution to the discussion,” said Mr Quinlan.
