Anyone else feel that Michael McDowell’s departure was oh-so typical of the man?
His precipitous quitting had all the hallmarks of a spoiled child throwing his toys out the pram when told he couldn’t play anymore. Add to that the arrogance of not bothering to consult his colleagues beforehand and not being interested if he couldn’t be the boss anymore, and you have the measure of the man.
Can’t see Mary Harney lacking the balls to continue when the going gets tough if she were in his position.
Retiring from public life? Er, I think you were just sacked by the people, Michael!
