Junior minister criticises ‘two Brians’
Referring to the Taoiseach and the Finance Minister as “the two Brians” Junior Enterprise Minister John McGuinness warned the autumn emergency economic package had been an “offensive mess”.
The comments are hardly likely to do Mr McGuinness’s chances of remaining a minister of state much good when Mr Cowen announces a reduced junior team later this month. Speaking ahead of yesterday’s budget, Mr McGuinness strongly attacked the way its predecessor had been handled by the “two Brians”.
