I was listening back through some old audio of radio pieces I had done, here is an interesting one from the Ploughing Championships in September 2009, Damien Kiberd, Dr. James Reilly and I were talking about the banking crisis.
At one state I said ‘you’re no different, you put your pants on one leg at a time, we would have had this crisis no matter who was in power’. He rejected it outright and went on to explain why (about one minute in).
Utterly rejects that claim, it’s untrue, other economies are coming out the other side of this crisis (it’s 2012 and I still don’t agree with that comment), yadda yadda… It’s nice to reminisce sometimes.
