A tailor was just jailed for 18 months for swindling €13,000 out of the banks in Meath.

I wonder will this act as a bench mark of some kind in any future sentencing, should it occur?

On the Richie Boucher thing,
its now clear nobody else wanted the job. I can understand Brian Lenihan's predicament here.

I had heard this. I would like to know how hard they tried. Frankly, I think it is nonsense. If the job is so bad, nobody would know that better than Boucher. So why did he take it? Is he being made out to be some kind of a saint?

Not a saint. Just dumb enough to take it.

Nobody asked me. I would have done it.

Nah EVM, we need you to be governor of the central bank.
