Clinton: ‘You’ll get out of it but not quickly’

“YOU’LL get out of this fine, but not fast” was the message on our economic crisis from former US President Bill Clinton, who said Irish people have to pick themselves up and “get your mojo back”.

Speaking at the Business and Finance Outstanding Contribution to Ireland Awards at UCD, Mr Clinton said while “this is a complicated mess we are living through.... we are gonna be just fine”.

“Get your confidence back. Get your mojo back. Take the bitter medicine you have to take. This is not the drab horrible story that drove thousands of emigrants to the shores of the United States almost two hundred years ago.”
