Does personal abuse of anyone change anything? OK, you have vented your emotion about John Neary. So you probably feel great.
I do feel great but what the hell are you talking about?

Whatever about the Financial Regulator, I have no confidence in the Governor of the Central Bank. If I remember correctly, his career includes some time as Secretary General of the Dept of Health, during the time that Dept was illegally taking money from people who were in nursing homes. God only knows what scandals were there in his time eg. the Hepatitis C scandal. Maybe he was one fo the good guys trying to sort it out. Or was he like Brian Cowen, only too glad to get away from tha Dept as fast as possible? Given the way these appointments are made, we dod not know. When you talk to politicians about this kind of thing, they blame the civil servants and when you talk to civil servants, they blame the politicians!!
Even though we are a small country with 4m people, I feel that we can expand the group from which we select our policy-makers – whether appointed or elected.
I prefer to focus on that rather than personal invective.
