Quotes

  • There were a couple of occasions when it was passed around – and, unlike President Clinton, I did inhale!.
  • I think it is fair to say that 2007 represents a turning point for the Irish economy.
  • However, we must not lose sight of the fact that the fundamentals of the economy are still good.
  • Yeah, well, there's a mirror in the toilet if you want to go in there and talk to them.
  • We need to get a handle on this, will you ring those fuckers.
  • Hopefully that will be seen as a response, a leadership responding to an issue and therefore one's authority, while it's not as high if you didn't have the problem, it does mean that people say 'well he used his authority to come up with a solution in double-quick time that met with broader public acceptance.
