Traffic was severely disrupted in the centre of Dublin today as angry members of the Cabinet took to the streets to protest against the Government.
Many citizens were surprised to see Taoiseach Brian Cowen and all of his Government ministers protesting against his government but Mr Cowen said it was vital that the public realised “that we are as angry and disillusioned as they are going forward”.
Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan said he couldn’t stand idly by while the economy and the public finances were in such an appalling state. “It is my duty to protest,” he said.
Tanaiste and Minister for Trade, Enterprise and Employment Mary Coughlan was typically forthright in her criticism of herself and her colleagues. “No one gives a fuck,” she said. “Look at my job title. It’s meaningless. There is no trade, enterprise or employment. What sort of fucken eejit do they take me for?”
