The company has developed a model called “crafting brands for ...

http://www.joe.ie/news-politics/current-affairs/video-vincent-browne-takes-no-crap-from-the-european-central-bank-0019791-1 In the old communist days Russians could become Heroes of the Soviet Union we suggest the time is right to award Vincent Browne a similar Irish accolade because in our opinion this question has still, years on, never been answered to the satisfaction of the Irish people.

All we can do is wait and see but we were slightly depressed by radio commentary from Brussels yesterday that implied that the Germans had no idea how bad things really are for ordinary folk in Ireland.
