Cowen’s economic plans

Sir, – I don’t want to take anything away from Brian Cowen’s apparent contrition (Front page, August 30th). However, it does seem clearer now that there was very much a Plan B in the mindset of Fianna Fáil during its recent period in office. And, just like its tenure in the 1980s , the B stood for Banjaxed (as in, keep going until . . .)! – Yours, etc,
