I'm one of those rarities.

I'm somebody from Dublin who really cannot trace my bloodline outside of Dublin unless I go back several generations.

I'm a wee bit of a rarity.

And now it's backward of vengeance because you're talking about perhaps of the global crash.

I think a lot of our large elements, we didn't learn the lessons of the decade leading up to that.

And we haven't heeded those lessons and all those that we seem to be now going back to where we were maybe 20 something years ago.

And I just I think there is no situation so bad that Leo Radcliffe can't come in and make it worse.
