He’s a socialist with a truly caring heart inside conservative clothing. It’s not his fault – I blame the Jesuit education. The conflict comes out every time he tries to argue the FG case. He finds it difficult to defend the indefensible. He admires the SF TDs and feels more comfortable with their social policies than those of Fine Gael.

Just a note for John Gallaher. I saw that you were having trouble connecting with Vincent Brown and Irish TV. The best VPN by a country mile is Astrill:

It’s the “Rolls Royce”. It covers the world and nothing else compares.

They’re not fiscal conservatives, that much is clear. They don’t appear to be social conservatives with the way various reforms are going. They’re not big on law and order given the Gardai cuts and the toleration of recent matters with the judges.

I don’t see any plan from the party, either for the country or for itself. The only thing they seem eager to accomplish is to cement themselves as the permanent replacement for FF.

Far from losing sleep on the matter, the former Bank Regulator is now enjoying a cushy life AT YOURS AND MY EXPENSE.
The current Taoiseach and Finance Minister obviously believe he has earned this reward.
.
Con Horan was head of banking supervision at the Financial Regulator’s office until 2007 when Patrick Neary became Regulator and Horan was promoted to prudential director. He interacted directly with senior bankers in Ireland during the final years of the crisis.
He is now set to stay on in Europe for an indefinite further period of time. Horan originally was appointed to the European Banking Authority (EBA) on a two-year secondment funded by the Central Bank, which was due to end in April.

My head is crushed thinking of the unfairness of it all. The dark shadow of bank bonuses hangs over this beautiful video. Please send a copy to our former Bank Regulator. I hope it keeps him awake at night.
