Questions & Answers: The End

I have, like many others, been educated and informed by Questions & Answers over many years but all that was almost set to nought by the unfortunate appearance of Brian Cowen on the final programme last night. John Bowman did not need it and I’m not sure whose idea it was. It was self-congratulatory and cheap. Even Bowman did not seem particularly enamoured of the unfortunate set piece designed to honour Bowman but which ended up giving a free plug to the nation by one of the three people responsible for the depth of our current financial woes. The other two being Bertie Ahern and Charlie McCreevy. If no one is interested in inviting Cowen on air it’s because no one wants to listen to his childish denials of responsibility.
