Fianna Fáil has sense of humour

FIANNA Fáil’s Michael McGrath TD has called on the Government not to pay the €715 million bill to Anglo bondholders.

Thu, 03 Nov, 2011 - 00:00

He said that the payment was “quite incredible” and evidence of “a weak negotiating strategy”.

Has Mr McGrath forgotten that his own party authorised the payment of a total of €97 billion to these same bondholders (130 times the recent payment) and that he supported these measures in several Dáil votes on the matter?
