We have a first prize of a subordinated bond in Anglo Irish Bank (and 2nd prize of 2 subordinated bonds in Anglo Irish Bank) to the person who sees the historical irony in Brian Lenihan having gone over the summer as the first Fianna Fail speaker at the Beal na mBlath commemoration for Michael Collins and then, according to the Irish Times, telling

this evening’s meeting of euro zone ministers he has no mandate to negotiate a bailout package deal for Ireland.

Bonus prize ( 1 subordinated bond in AIB) for use of the word plenipotentiary in answers.
