Listening to Bertie making his apology (RTE1 news) I'm sure he referred to the "renovations" of the last week or so (rather than 'revelations')! In the name of God, can he utter one sentence without putting his foot in it? He also said last week that he wanted to make a distinction between certain payments to previous Ministers/leaders and the payments to him, but he (of course, being Bertie) said he wanted to make a "distinkment"!! Leaving aside the matter of the monies he received, do we really want to have a man of this 'distinkment' like this leading this country?
