Attributed to Dick Rowe of Decca Records, 1962
A generation ago, the very idea that a British politician would go to Ireland to see how to run an economy would have been laughable.
The Irish Republic was seen as Britain's poor and troubled country cousin, a rural backwater on the edge of Europe. Today things are different. Ireland stands as a shining example of the art of the possible in long-term economic policymaking, and that is why I am in Dublin: to listen and to learn.
George Osborne, 2006
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh...
