Obviously we have differeing views and tbh the No side don't know where the money will come from but i would state with certainty that if we voted 'No' Europe cannot and would not turn off the supply of money...to put it mildly it would be suicide for Irelands banking system and the ripple effects/contaigen effect on Europe would hit quite hard.

The Yes side can't answer simple questions about how much more in cuts will be needed to meet the 0.5% target or when we will have to meet it.

All they go on about is FDI into Ireland. What about our domestic economy?

FG/Labour have basically now said we're going to need a second bailout.
Their 5 year plan is working well so.

A win for the No vote - Ganly was calm and succinct and made sense. Mary Lou was fair. Gilmore flustered as usual - as for Nora Casey, I just dont get it - everything was about her business perspective and nothing else - she comes across as smug and patronising. Not a good representative to have on and I wonder why??

I'll be voting no, not that in any way detracts from the accuracy of what I said

Agree about Ganley, though I thought Mary Lou was ridiculous, Just trying to point-score over Labour. All Gilmore did was pontificate and as for Norah Casey...f*&king hell!
