anonymous_joe

Doesn't have the balls to resign.

No sign of Dermot Ahern??

charlemont

****en scumbag of a man:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Absurdum

I can't see how people cannot take to the streets to force them out at this stage

this is Bollox with a capital B

Standard Toaster

He's announcing that there is no announcement from the looks of it.

Mark200

Cowen was spot on in his speech. Passing of the budget as scheduled is the most important thing.

kippy

No sign of ANY of the Greens on that stage with Cowen. Is he speaking for the Government or Fianna Fail?
This looks to be a move by FF for FF, not my the government for the people at all.

But he didn't even answer the question straight. He just waffled. Surely we can just rise up and force in a new government?

desaparecidos

It's like bloody mass.

Degag

Bull**** of the highest order.

foxinsox

anyone else notice you can't hear the questions..

god knows what he is being asked..

TanG411

The man on the left hasn't a clue what's going on. He's asleep.

markok84

Coughlan kinda looks like homer did her makeup

Wibbs

Christ what is it with the sound being crap and with all the worlds press in attendance? Jesus with every day that passes we look more and more like rank fcuking amateurs.:mad:

Setun

You'd think they'd give him a milk crate to stand on, I can barely see him over the podium.

D-Generate

Kevin Barry, Tomas MacCurtain and Brian Cowen.

Ireland's greatest martyrs.

Well done Cowen, taking one for the team. Begrudgingly accepting that he will continue to lead the country.

What an utter cúnt.

FF had their own meeting to discuss what the Greens have said, and are now giving a press conference based on that.

kippy

No sign of the Greens.
Nothing changed there I suppose in reality.

kev9100

This is beyond fecking parody. We are a international joke.

kincsem

Can you trust him with €90 billion?

Heyes

A new government would also have a Budget..

The problems are there..

Someone has to deal with them..

Even a new government..

themadchef

He looks kinda chirpy no?

"we shall not, we shall not be moved!"

Hedman

What a surprise, betrayed isn't in his vocabulary. Explains a lot.

Ruu_Old

Betrayed is not a word that is in my lexicon at all. :mad:

RoundyMooney

Why does he call these last minute press conferences, when the world's media is watching, and then proceed to tell them, and us, sweet fcuk all?

When the world was otherwise engaged, he was nowhere to be found.

Standard Toaster

Hmmmm.....Brian Lenihan has grown a few inches since last announcement.


Where Vin B?

Yes, I know we need to have a budget - but why don't we just get him the hell out of the government?

He's slurring - is he actually drunk?

AckwelFoley

im babysitting.. the 3 year old was making too much noise as i try to hear cowen speak.. i said to the child "hush, im trying to hear the man speak"

He looked at cowen, looked at me and slapped his own head and said "oh no"

Northener

I now realise how we got into this mess.Those guys are on a different planet.

johnn

I respect him not resigning, he would be leaving us in the lurch if he did. Fair play Brian.

I was just about to ask where he was. Need a wide screen TV. All I see is a shoulder.

Nero fiddling.

Did he just say, "the future funding of this c*nting?"

All I'm hearing is PR spin.
