Biggest Climbdowns in Irish History?

I’m thinking about any instances in the political, business, sporting and entertainment arenas.

Nothing really springs to mind other than farmer’s 2 recent ones.

First his long-running feud with fingal raven was ended by farmer who, for no apparent reason and contrary to what he’d been saying for months previously, decided raven was a stand up guy. :o

And then today’s incredible events. ;D

If I remember correctly it was Raven who first said that he quite liked me as a person. That may or not have been true but who’s to know if what I said was true either - the old double bluff

Same thing could have happened today Bandage

Next you’ll be agreeing with piper about the EPL farmer. :o

Bump

:lol: :clap:

Why would he have to climb down?
He’s always right.

Underneath all the spin and PR Leo is essentially just a rich, stupid cunt.

Leo’s a smug prick, but I don’t see what all the outrage is about.

Given all the scandals and cover ups involving priests, the faux outrage is a bit OTT.

I always admit it when I am wrong mate.

He’s rich and a cunt alright but a bit of a conniving bollox- all the same

It was a bigger insult to Micheal Martin than to the priests.

Ah he’s not conniving at all, he’s like a Midas of turd, everything he touches turns to shit.

He’s biggest problem is that he’s pure lazy

I’m not a fan of his, but do you think you become taoiseach by being pure lazy? Honestly?
