Delivered to the abyss, not the promised land

PROFESSOR Patrick Honohan became Central Bank Governor a little over a year ago.

He came to us Moses-like to deliver us to the promised land. He had two things to do for Sean public, tell us the unvarnished truth about the banks and the financial crisis and get the numbers right.

He fulfilled the former role admirably when he rang in to Morning Ireland to set the record straight when the Government, now in disgrace, obfuscated not for the first time.
