Taoiseach Brian Cowen has responded angrily to claims that he was either drunk or hungover on an interview on RTÉ Radio’s ‘Morning Ireland’ this morning.
In the interview, conducted at the Fianna Fáil Parliamentary Party think-tank in Galway, Mr Cowen mistakenly referred to the Croke Park Agreement as the Good Friday Agreement.
In a tweet posted after the interview aired, Fine Gael’s Simon Coveney said: “God, what an uninspiring interview by Taoiseach this morning. He sounded half way between drunk and hungover and totally disinterested.”
Mr Cowen branded the comments from members of the shadow cabinet as “ridiculous” and “uncalled for”.
