Ship of Fools

A grim article on what Ireland is now experiencing and the model of cuts which the Tories openly praised before the elections. I experienced a lot of this first hand on my recent visit there. I am currently reading Fintan O’Toole’s book ‘Ship of Fools’ which tells the story of the crisis. Interesting that the Coalition here are taking soundings from the Coalition there.
