Coughlan (in her current role.) Agriculture suited her though!
We are not that easy to sell at the moment especially after all the banking scandals in the last few months.
Not that any of the rest of them are any great shakes but Cowen has screwed the country and now represents us on the international stage as (unelected) leader of the country. No wonder we're in the state we're in!
Her cock-up's are harder to see but a major part of her job is to sell Ireland to the international business community and she is worse than useless at that.
Joan Burton - now imagine her in power!!
...Things went downhill when Cowen took over from McCreevy in finance...
McCreevey drew the roadmap. Cowen followed it.

Yes. Coughlan is chief clown of the troop. Many seem to be out of their depth and treading water, and certainly Roche and Cullen are the hardest to stomach, but Mary C is all/lost at sea. Given the import of her position at this time, she is the most glaring example of the Peter Principle that I've ever seen. What's worse is that she's in that position largely due to nonsense gender balance considerations.Just what it says, my vote is for Mary Coughlan; a clown amongst clowns.
Bertie is the man who is to blame for the current mess. Cowan had a hand in it, as did McCreevey, as did the rainbow government which started to spend way ahead of inflation and take people out of the tax net, but the buck stopped with Bertie.
At least McCreevy controlled Government spending in the early noughties before he was sent into lucrative European exile. He also used some of the surplus revenue for the national pension reserve fund.
Let's keep the blame clearly focused on Cowen and Bertie and not taint McCreevy's name.
i think david Begg is the worst member of government followed closely by turlough o sullivan
