    He asked him a simple question, no need for him to react like that. The info is already in the public domain anyway

    Yeah, he was unnecessarily vitriolic, but Browne is adept at calculatingly goading a person.

    Only caught the tail end of the bust up at the start. :D

    Has anyone ever walked off Vinnies show? There's a couple of regulars who I seriously think use the show as an outlet for a weekly punishment slot, I suppose as a new up and coming TD it's the best training you would get.

    The day Constantin smiles, will be the day the ground opens up and gobbles us all.

    I'm starting to wonder if he hasn't been dragged out back by a bouncer. Ah, he's back, looks like the beaten was around the torso, no marks on the face.

    Sheehan was dead right. It's a wonder browne hasn't got a box in the face from a guest. He's one annoying interviewer.
    I'm getting sick and tired of Sheahan, he doesn't seem able to cope with any criticism or questioning of Independent Newspapers at all. Over the last few weeks, I've heard him lose the rag on the Right Hook and The Pat Kenny Show too.

    Their statements make them sound even worse. They remind me of the Youtube clip with the child with the chocolate all over his face telling his mother that he didn't eat any chocolate.

    The best bit of this is the two scummy dopes categorically denying misleading anyone.

    Why were these tapes sitting around for 3 months, should have been released first time they got them and not cashed in when it was a slow news week.

    Yeah, doesn't seem to know a whole lot. Quite vaccuous and just soundbyting.

    To be fair, it would have taken them a while to go through all the tapes to find material that was newsworthy.

    Don't think any bankers will be making any calls on their office phones of any importance in the future.

    I would be willing to bet a lot of money that neither of them realised that the conversation was being recorded!

    Sometimes hard to detect - but he has form for the obtuse nature in his questioning. But yes, he probably was posing a simple question there. Asked it quite a few times though.

    Good evening Harold, I heard the statement and I have two issues..

    1. The first part of the statement attempts to say that at the time they attempting to acquire funds from the Government with a view to then returning to the markets when they had overcome temporary problems.. But the tapes make it crystal clear that they really dont see a future for the bank and there will be NO chance of the Government getting their money back..

    2. There is a cowardly attempt to say "We wouldnt have had enough responsibility to be involved in the big decisions, so what we said doesnt really matter". Passing the book, presumably to David Drummer really is the last refuge of a coward.. It's a pity Drummer wasnt as good at pulling things out of his hat as he was out of his ar$e..

    Williams mentioned that they had to have them fairly well checked out for their authenticity as well..

    It will probably take a few days for the relevance of these tapes to hit home.
    These boys willingly dumped their problems on the taxpayers of Ireland, their children and grandchildren.

    Personally unless an someone is going to be held accountable to a level that will result in them going to jail I would prefer if the €10 million or whatever massive sum of money will be blown on a tribunal/barristers wet dream/enquiry was instead placed in the centre of Stephens Green and torched some winters day so the public could get some heat from it.
