“The Celtic tiger ultimately was a huge foolishness.
The banks borrowed and lent money irresponsibly, and the developers developed
irresponsibly. It’s quite fair to heavily criticize the lack of political
oversight.”—Mary Robinson, Ireland’s first female President, interviewed by
Andrew Goldman, “If You Become Popular in That Job, You’re Probably Not Doing a Good Job,” The New York Times Magazine, March 24, 2013
