Demanding an apology is a sorry task

What else can I be, all apologies?” Brian Cowen is hardly a fan of Kurt Cobain, but perhaps he empathises with the line from the Nirvana song, ‘All Apologies’.

Last week, Cowen was caught up in the latest circus surrounding an apology, something, we are told, for which the country is crying out.

Cowen gave an interview to the TG4 programme, Cómhrá, and discussed his time as Minister for Finance and as Taoiseach. The programme is to be aired next week, but the script was filleted in search of an apology. None was found.
