Cowen has what it takes to be a ‘real Taoiseach’

I WISH to congratulate Brian Cowen on his pending elevation to the office of An Taoiseach.

It may appear strange for a Kildare man to be congratulating an Offaly man for anything, but this is an occasion worth celebrating.

Here we have a man who has shown he has a strong and forceful make-up and is well capable of making decisions and standing up like a man when the pressure comes on.
