Acknowledgement, atonement and moving on from the Crash

It was a busy week on the business and political news front.

More than 20,000 people visiting Dublin for the Web Summit. A raft of job announcements. Strong exchequer figures.

Yet further evidence of Government disarray over Irish Water. Embarrassing revelations concerning the use of Luxembourg schemes by Irish multinationals to slash corporate tax payments and finally, the long awaited publications of letters to the Irish Government from the ECB in the run-up to the EU/ IMF bailout of Ireland.
