Another article pertaining to Morgan Kelly carried the headline, "Banking collapse economist was 'just spouting off'". The article referred to opinions Morgan Kelly had expressed in e-mails he sent to UBS. The last paragraph of the article states:

In 2002, he was promoted to professor in UCD where he is "highly regarded", according to one source at the university. It can be safely assumed that after this latest comment he is a lot less well regarded in Irish banking and stock market circles.

This was in 2008. Did some sections of the Irish Independenthave an issue with Morgan Kelly?
