Public finances - If Taoiseach backs down he must go

SO this is what it feels like to be stuck in a car careering towards the edge of a cliff.

This what it feels like to wonder if the driver has the skills and courage to avoid a fatal crash. This is what it is like when self-interest begins to cloud decision-making.

Even more frighteningly, this is what it is like when the driver may be about to lose his nerve and give up the fight before it really begins.
