    Have to say I feel sorry for Mary Coughlan, I just think she is out of her depth.

    Richard Waghorne,writing in the Irish Daily Mail sat 25.4.09 writes about the ''ill-fated trip she made with Willie O'Dea to visit the Dell headquarters in Texas in a last ditch effort to avert job losses in Limerick.''

    According to Waghorne,the meeting with Michael Dell was an utter disaster.

    Aside from the fact that ''the Dell founder was incensed at her insinuation that Dell would suffer negative publicity in Ireland if it pulled out'',Coughlan surely put the final nail in the coffin when:

    Quote: ''the Tanaiste let rip with a stream of the colourful language for which she is notorious inside govt buildings,eliciting a particularly infuriated reaction from one of Michael Dell's deputies,an ordained minister.''

    P.

    Wow, I googled this quite a bit and couldnt find it .. I was actually genuinely asking, not trying to second guess you. My god, if she said "stream of the colourful language for which she is notorious inside govt buildings" in front of a ordained minister, can you imagine what she said to swashbuckling Mick O'Leary. If this is true, she should have lost her position for this alone.

    I'm sure the phrase "O'Leary, you can stick your f*kn 300 jobs up ur f*kn hole" may have been heard inside government buildings the other evening...
