Yes my friends, we may be going bankrupt here in the emerald Isle,
have a bunch of politicians who are more crooked than the handle on a pot o'gold,
banks run by people who you wouldn't leave your pets with on a weekend away,
criminals who'd shoot you for packet of fags (with a rocket launcher),
a drink culture that even the Russians would take notice off (when sober),
and a national history that starts good about 3,000 years ago, (even the Romans were wise enough not to start with us); but it all started going downhill about 800 years ago, and kept on going down until about 1993, then we had a bit of an uplift, now we are back to regular service.
But despite all of that, we are still the greatest little nation of mentalists around, you know that the planet would be a lot more boring without the Irish in it!
Go Ireland, I love you! :yh_shamrk

Irish Life and Permanent giving Anglo a few billion to cook the books? WTF is going on?
Do we have any honest people in our banking system?
This is bad, really bad.
And its not like things were good to start off with, is it?

Then they give the ex-Financial Regulator gets a back-hander of over €600,000 to take an early retirement, plus a €300,000 up front retirement payment, plus is now eligible for a retirement pay of €150,000 a year.

Then the fecken unions want to strike, they have the best pension plans in Europe, guaranteed jobs, and all they are being asked to do is give more contribution to their own retirement fund, which they will get back anyway!!
Then they say ‘everyone should feel the pain, not just public service workers’ what??… thousands of jobs being lost is not feeling the pain?? Are they out of their minds thinking that they will get any support or sympathy from the people?

NO NO NO!
Please, Mrs McAlese, end this Dail, the President has to step in, the Minister of Finance didn't even read the full report on Anglo before he decided to nationalize it! I have no confidence in any of this, its wrong, wrong, wrong.
The opposition parties should just walk out of the Dail at this stage, the Greens need to stop the government before they waste another 7 billion that we don't have!
This is our future they are throwing away.
Everybody say a little prayer for Ireland, we are going to need it.

Indeed. Meanwhile the government goes ahead and puts €7,000,000,000 into 2 banks, and we have no real idea what the state of the losses that either of these banks face is. So we are getting a load of money and throwing it at a problem, that we have no idea of the scale of, and we have to...wait for it....
Trust the banks, that they are being honest.....
Well then, no problem there, as our financial institutions are as honest as the day is long aren't they?

4 hours after deal was signed with the banks, Bank of Ireland stated that it has under estimated its bad debts and they could be as high as €6 billion… well we now know how they will be blowing the €3.5 billion the government has given them.

Simple, cut the lawyers fees by 50 percent, but under no circumstances allow them to wrap the tribunals up without coming to any conclusions, thats what they were intended to do, bury the truth, we need them to come to conclusions now more than ever. The Greens are adamant that the tribunals be completed and on this, I am in agreement with the Greens.
As for what is happening now, we don't need tribunals, we need the Fraud Office, Interpol, and the CAB.
We also need the President to dissolve this dail, though its probably already to late for that 7,000,000,000 euro's worth of money, oh we are going to miss that money so much when it becomes apparent its been thrown away, which is precisely what's been done.
I have no confidence in this government with Fianna Fail in power, its a farce, they need to be gotten rid of.

Well, they have done it, they have thrown away another 7 billion on bailing out banks that have fundamentally lost the confidence of the markets, the shareholders, and the Irish people.
We have no idea of how bad the bad debts of these banks are, and we are not allowed to know, despite the fact that we are paying to pay off their debts. They "promise" that they will "help" all the people now about to go to the wall, yeah, thanks guys, what a swell bunch you are.
They talk about capping salaries and eliminating bonuses, but no mention of anyone facing anything more than a stiff talking to, and then a brandy and a cigar. Then its off to Chapter One or Tosca for some Filet Mingon.
Then the Chairman of the Board of IL&P decides to offer his resignation, but the board won't accept it, despite allowing their bank to be involved in one of the most shameful episodes in Irish financial history.
Anglo Irish Bank still sits there Sphinx-like, its still in operation, despite being exposed as an organization that was fundamentally unsound and corrupt, why has it not already been closed down?
Fianna Fail are now down to 22 percent in the opinion polls, and go down to the third party below labour.

Then the Chairman of the Board of IL&P decides to offer his resignation, but the board won't accept it, despite allowing their bank to be involved in one of the most shameful episodes in Irish financial history.
Anglo Irish Bank still sits there Sphinx-like, its still in operation, despite being exposed as an organization that was fundamentally unsound and corrupt, why has it not already been closed down?
Fianna Fail are now down to 22 percent in the opinion polls, and go down to the third party below labour.
Bring on the next election.

I love this country, that is why it is just killing me watching what is happening to it.

That's exactly how I feel about England.

Yes it will always be home, but at the moment I feel sick inside watching what they are doing to it, and what they have already done.
I don't blame all polticians and all bankers, but by god we have an awful lot of cockroaches to get rid of down here, some of what they have done is being described as "economic treason".
That's probably the only way to describe the attitude of some of the people at the top of our own society, its heartbreaking. :-1

Yes, I know this isn't just here, I have been watching the shenanigans going on in the City of London in the past few days as well, pretty breath taking, and galling if your an ordinary U.K. taxpayer.
Its like watching wood-lice run for the dark, when someone lifts up a log isn't it? There is going to be a lot more of this.
Where we are all headed at the moment, I don't know.
But its not good.

Hi,
Ireland one of the top 10 in European countries. There are three World Heritage Sites on the island; these are the Brú na Boinne, Skellig Michael and the Giant's Causeway.[30] A number of other places are on the tentative list, for example the Burren and Mount Stewart.Some of the most visited sites in Ireland include Bunratty Castle, the Rock of Cashel, the Cliffs of Moher, Holy Cross Abbey and Blarney Castle.

Bobby Flay was in Ireland visiting local food shops. Looked like a really nice place. I was surprised. I thought everyone threw malatov cocktails all over the streets. I didnt see anything like that. I finally know what pudding is. Its not like any kind of pudding Ive ever seen.

No not anymore, there is no fight left in the 'fighting Irish' we sold out to the Celtic Tiger and now we let the banks and developers walk all over us and do nothing about it.
