Haughey

Flags at half-mast all around the country for a full fledged crook... So the man who enjoined the country to tighten their belt and wear a hairshirt whilst he bought Charvet sirts gets a State funeral. The man who had his overdraft written off by AIB who have no problems in screwing their ordinary customer gets State Honours. The man who was the subject of a tribunal of inquiry has his undertakers bills paid for by us. It will be great comfort for those lying on hospital trollies because of the lack of beds to know that there's plenty of euro around to pay to carry Haughey on a gun carriage tomorrow.
