Áine Collins TD makes the front page of the Irish Daily Mail this morning, and is currently trending on twitter … but for the wrong reasons. In an meeting with members of the “Ballyhea Says NO to the Bondholder Bailout” Group, she made some unfortunate comments which have her in hot water this morning, notably:

• the difficulty of making ends meet on a TD’s salary with expenses (bound to annoy the general electorate, but it should be taken in context as everyone situation is different)
• on economist Constantin Gurdgiev : “The best thing he can do for Ireland is get on a plane back to Moscow” (has immigrant campaigners up in arms)
• on government policy, that their hope that in three or four years, when our debt has become utterly unsustainable, we will get a write-down “of up to 50%” from Europe (bound to annoy lots of people in government and Europe, and by far the most important thing to take from the piece)

Diarmuid O’Flynn (Cork NW constituent, Irish Examiner journalist, and anti bailout campaigner) wrote about the meeting on his blog, which has been picked up by the Irish Daily Mail this morning and sensationalized on their front page. The Daily Mail article is based on heresay, but expect the story to run …

Should make for an interesting meeting on the Stability Treaty tonight in the Wallis Arms which she is due to chair.
