More importantly, who'd be likely to get it?

Dermot Ahern or Brian Lenihan maybe. Beyond that I think I'd be a likely candidate, taking Bertie's seat as an Independent and striking a deal with the Government....................... us history and politics graduates have a great grasp of economics.
Well they are bringing back Bev into the party.
Maybe for the finance portfolio.
Could be good though as she might be able to get Ireland's national debt cut in half!!!!
If Bev gets the gig more likely that it will be tax revenue that will cut in half! I foresee a clause in the Finance Act that FF members and supporters are exempt from tax.Originally Posted by Free Speach
Well I would imagine Cowan would certainly look for someone as boringly incapable of original thought in Finance with an inability to actually do a productive job....
Maybe Michael Woods would appeal to him for that...

Based on Cowen's lack lustre performance it doesn't matter, the head boys in the Department of Finance will keep whoever it is in check.
There are numerous backside licking likely incumbents only to happy to warm Biffo's seat.
Previous incompetence won't disqualify.

MarD - Did you ever think that maybe it isn't the head boys in the Dept keeping him in check and that maybe he is not competent himself????

Cowen has blazed a trail of mediocrity through Health, Foreign Affairs and Finance and has been lauded by the print media as a great guy mostly for his ability to mimic others in the Dail bar!
Never has there been so much promotion of a politician who has done nothing of consequence. It's inexplicable.
