The Irish government’s attempts to win popular backing for its economic reforms have suffered a fresh blow with an opinion poll issued in September 2009 suggesting less than one in five of the electorate now support Prime Minister Brian Cowen’s Fianna Fail party. The slump in popularity comes as the coalition government prepares later in September 2009 to table key legislation setting up the newly created National Asset Management Agency which will take over up to €90bn of distressed property loans from Irish banks. Many ordinary voters believe the plan is simply a bail out for the bankers and developers, whose imprudent lending created Ireland’s current economic crisis. |
