Cliched Cowen fires blanks in war against murderous gun gangs

SADLY, the murder gangs are using live rounds but the Taoiseach appears to be firing blanks.

Brian Cowen said “no stone would be left unturned” in the hunt for the killers of Shane Geoghegan, but in reality no cliche was left untouched during Leader’s Questions as a weary looking Taoiseach responded to outrage over the slaying.

The latest innocent, indiscriminate victim of Ireland’s burgeoning gun culture received the same, lame promises of action delivered in the aftermath of every other such murder that has blighted this country in the past five years.
