Irish Prime Minister will become hilarious joke at global elite dinner parties

The Taoiseach’s comments that people “went mad borrowing” in the boom have been widely criticised.

There has been further criticism by opposition parties and social commentators of remarks made by Taoiseach Enda Kenny yesterday at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Mr Kenny told the forum that Irish people went mad borrowing in a system that spawned greed, and that this led to the crash of the Irish economy.

Fr Seán Healy of Social Justice Ireland said the Taoiseach’s remarks were “amazing and extraordinarily lopsided.”

He said Mr Kenny failed to recognise that the generous bank guarantee and subsequent socialising of the debt lie at the root of Ireland’s problems.

Fianna Fáil TD Niall Collins said there was a stark contrast between the Taoiseach’s comments in Davos and his televised address to the nation last month, in which he told the public that the crisis was not their fault.
