Bad manners and patronising hubris
Minister Eamonn Ryan is linguistically very bullying and arrogant. He was a guest on Vincent Browne on Black NAMA Tuesday on TV3 and spoke over Richard Bruton and Joan Burton like a public school know-all hectoring bully. I found him very annoying. Listening to the two Bs might be a good idea for him but I have noticed that he has very fixed ideas. I thought that Bruton and Burton were wise and thoughtful in response to this national crisis. I know that I would not have been quite so mannerly as Richard and Joan had I been there.
