FF’s asking price does not inspire confidence

THE deal “negotiated” by the Fianna Fáil-led government with the Catholic Church resulted in the church paying only 5% of the 1.2 billion (so far) of the compensation due to the victims of clerical abuse.

How then can one have any confidence that the current FF-led government will “negotiate” any better deal for the taxpayer in the small matter of the 90bn debts of the private banks and property developers?
