We have castigated theLord Protector for centuries for the havoc he wrecked on our little Island but looking at today's independent we should give serious consideration to writing to the Queen or Gordan Browne or whoever to come back and re-invade. There would be no resistance this time!

The difference is that NAMA will not be demolishing the houses using cannon with the people still inside them.

Luke Kelly predicted all this:


For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame
For what flowed Irelands blood in rivers,
That began when Brian chased the Dane,
And did not cease nor has not ceased,
With the brave sons of ´16,

For what died the sons of Róisín, was it fame
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed
Was it greed that drove Wolfe Tone to a paupers death in a cell of cold wet stone?
Will German, French or Dutch inscribe the epitaph of Emmet?
When we have sold enough of Ireland to be but strangers in it.
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed

To whom do we owe our allegiance today
To whom do we owe our allegiance today
To those brave men who fought and died that Róisín live again with pride?
Her sons at home to work and sing,
Her youth to dance and make her valleys ring,
Or the faceless men who for Mark and Dollar,
Betray her to the highest bidder,
To whom do we owe our allegiance today

For what suffer our patriots today
For what suffer our patriots today
They have a language problem, so they say,
How to write "No Trespass" must grieve their heart full sore,
We got rid of one strange language now we are faced with many, many more,
For what suffer our patriots today

Luke Kelly, RIP

People are so screwed by the banks anyway that it would be less pain if Cromwell and his buddies arrived over from the mainland :cool: for a right good pogrom ...sorry stag ...

Yes mgegan you're right. The entire mess we're in know is the fault of FF, bankers, developers and the public sector and no one else. :rolleyes:

What if Nama takes ownership of the Finished Houses

They put the houses up for rent to people say 500 month which is deducted from the price of the house ( Like a Mortgage )

You pay off the the house over example 25 years you own the house then

If you leave the House early Nama keeps the money you paid and they can start again and you have no problems with getting chased for a Mortgage

They should test the people who can avail of this as a long term Rent/Ownership rather then people who they think would Trash the Houses

SEPT 23 1989

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!

Not a bad idea sir/madam. The infrastructure is already in place thru the housing departments of most local authorities. While they're at it they could rent out zombie hotels to students whose grant (again managed by local authorities) not only gives them a bed but a kitchen to feed
them as well

Why must every detrimental situation be the fault of someone else?

Cromwell's head apparently ended up as a paperweight on someone's desk.

Local government in Ireland is piss poor.

Counties like Leitrim and Roscommon should not have seperate councils, with duplication of planning and services. Not only is it a waste of money, but it leads to low standards and corrupt behaviour.

Irish county councils have an attitude that they should allow as many big developments as possible "for de jobs, and de inveshtment" with zero concern for the legacy of so many housing estates in middle of nowhere and out of town/village shopping centres.

Dead right. The Public Sector must be held to responsible. The nurses and guards and teachers all contributed to our financial woes with their indiscriminate borrowing, building, and stock market gambling...... Heads off to the lot of them!

Seeing how many PS are crying in public over how they can't take more cuts due to their 1k+ monthly loan repayments they easily meet your number one, possibly number two and most likely number three as well if you also include summer homes and ever increasing house values as market gambling.

I was being sarcastic, but I have a feeling you meant that comment to be taken lightly.

Wasn't just public workers who thought they could live like kings for 10 years, it was everyone.

Then when all these houses are knocked the CIF will start bleating on that there's a shortage of housing in ireland, Parlon will lobby the governement, tax breaks will be given and hey presto housing boom no 2.

However they'll say that they've learnt lessons from the 1st one and that at the next recession there won't be another crash just a soft landing.

So true - no other country in the world would put up with the sh*t we are letting happen. Those responsible should be going to jail not getting promotions, payoffs and golden handshakes

Thread fails the quality test unfortunately. Coherency and sense lacking almost throughout.
