Ah come on Willie.
You have a good run at it. 30 years in the Dail & thirteen years as Minister of Junior minister.
You need to man up & take responsibility for what you and your party, Fianna Fail have done to our country.
In your time Limerick unemployment has gone from bad to worse while you clown around in the media.
In the name of God, just go and let us to get on with the economic rebuilding.
