Lenihan’s legacy

IS there anybody who thinks Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan is anything but the saviour of the nation?

Does he get anything wrong?

Could he have miscalculated when he said Anglo was going to incur a loss of €2.5bn (now €29bn and rising)... when he said we’re at the bottom and the economic situation is stabilising... when he said the recession is over and there were signs of green shoots.
