FINE Gael European Election candidate for Ireland East has said that An Taoiseach Brian Cowen learned all he knows about economics ‘as a child playing monopoly’.
Fine Gael European Election candidate for Ireland East, Senator John Paul Phelan, compared Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, to a child playing monopoly and accused the government of ignoring all the warning signs.
Addressing followers as his campaign was officially launched by party leader, Enda Kenny, Senator Phelan said, “How could they be so short sighted, so deaf to the warnings? Then it struck me – Monopoly. Brian Cowen must have learned all he knows about economics from playing monopoly as a child.
“Ignore the utilities, forget about transport, raid the community chest, take a chance and get out of jail free, build as many houses as you can and then some hotels and you win the game.”
