Bertie sinking in his own quicksand

WHEN the Taoiseach asks us to read each and every detail of his evidence to the Mahon Tribunal, he shows that he does not live in the same world as the rest of us.

We have neither the mental skills, the inclination nor, ironically, in affluent FF Ireland, the time. We hire legal and media professionals to pre-digest — just as we hired him to run our country.

The learned tribunal judges will write what they will write months or years from now.
