TV personality' Gay Byrne's comment that Ireland is being run by 'mad people in Brussels' is an unfortunate comment.
Worse still is the comment of a senior Fianna Fail TD that Mr Byrne had 'his finger on the pulse'.
This is Ireland back at its old parochialism - what we do best.
Was Mr Byrne and the senior Fianna Fail TD saying that when the EU was giving us pound for pound building our institutes of technology, our roads, our rail carriages.
Mr Byrne's comments are appalling and actually racist.
Does he realise how many of the 'Mad Brussels' people are Irish? The mad Irish.
Hopefully he will decide not to run for the presidency.
