- Now McGuinness was portrayed as a bumbling cantankerous guy who was open to letting things slip. He was however someone who had experience running his own business that was not a legal practice or a pub (rare amongst his peers) and was not afraid to challenge sectoral interests including public sector employees.by Suzy Byrne at 4/24/2009 8:53:57 PM
