Scissorhands politics

Not very widely reported, but the Fianna Fail heavyweights are giving seminars to invited SME audiences around the country to reassure them on the state of the economy.

If I were Frank Flannery, 'twould be an idea to nip this notion from Cowan & Co that the opposition would not be able to provide the "safe pair of hands" that the economy needs.

This was the Big Bertha that was kept pretty much in the reserve trenches last time around - but I think Cowan will be pretty vicious with it this time.
