i used to watch him on oireachtas report when he was minister of finance answering questions and he came across as a very genuine person with integrity back then. I had high hopes for him when he became taoiseach but he's just been a complete disaster...maybe it's too much for him to handle...i dunno...but he's been nowhere to be seen since the recession really took hold. Even his response to the flood situation has been limp at best...at least charlie got on the tv back in the 80s and addressed the nation about the mess we were in...brian cowen has just done a disappearing act since he's become the leader which is the exact opposite of what the country needs right now.
His father (bernard cowen) was a Fianna Fail TD and Senator, that's how he got elected.
That's how things work in Ireland, and it's why we're now in this current mess.

Brian Cowen. What has he achieved in all his years in politics?
Agree with boris. Could some posters from Laois/Offaly explain how this person ever got elected?
Well, he did give us Mary Coughlan as Tanaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment.
