    To sum up, no-one thinks we have a chance but yet we have a government that are simply making sure that their buddies dont suffer but the ordinary person does.

    I hope that Zanu FF never darken the door again of Irish politics.

    Enjoy Christmas folks it might be our last for a while.

    Is Ireland selling December 25th to make some cash or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,086 ✭✭✭Nijmegen


    EU people already have desks in the Department of Finance, our 4 year plan relies on growth targets abroad that won't be met, and everything we've been told by government to date has been bull.

    So yeah, the game is up.

    60 days left of cash in the country

    Let's spend it all on a big piss-up, a huge blow-out of a party. We all know the IMF or Europeans will be coming in, why pretend otherwise?

    Now let's all get NAKED!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭joe316


    Watch what happens on the 31st of December when the bank gaurantee finishes up, we all wake up to the new year with frozen bank accounts.

    Yay

    Yawn. Is the sky falling again?

    AH is getting to be boring. It's just constant "RABBLE-RABBLE WE'RE ALL DOOMED". It's not that bad, the IMF/ECB are merely advisory bodies which will tell us to make the cuts we're already planning anyway.

    Let me see.....

    First it was threads wanting to start a bank run....

    Then it was threads bashing the church......

    Fortunately the guy in that vid has already been discredited by someone who actually knows what they're talking about. That guy is basing his facts on the person in the pub who told him that there's only one crock of gold left in the country as the last leprechaun died in a horse and cart crash recently.

    Why isnt news as serious as thing be in the national media?

    Are they trying to bring this country down even further and trying to cover their asses?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen

    Part of this clip was played on the news at one on radio 1 and was poo pooed by an RTE reporter. They advise that whether the country is going bankrupt or not is debatable but the fact there is 60 days cash left is simply wrong. This slant has also been put on it by the the FT and Wall Street Journal among others.

    Who are we meant to believe and why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,215 ✭✭✭Mrmoe


    I wouldn't worry too much, we've been keeping stuff off the books and getting our cash paid under the table:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,472 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    so what happens my savings? :eek:

    Or Mattresscard, which gives you access to an endless supply of undisclosed cash.

    Totally agree...I come on here to get away from the doom and gloom not to be reminded of it. It seems to be one of these threads every day now! :rolleyes:

    you should go to the bank and withdraw all your money...that should sort out any cash problems

    Can I withdraw yours instead, as I'm a bit namad at the moment, and it is almost the season of goodwill?:confused:

    Poor misguided fool, if the IMF comes in it's over my friend. Enjoy 18th century Ireland again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    You mean the Brits are coming back :eek: At least we'll have access to the commonwealths money again !

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,256 ✭✭✭bobblepuzzle


    Sorry, my bad... :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Is this true or poorly informed.

    I thought Ireland didnt have to borrow until february at the earliest.

    The ECB will call the shots on our corporation tax. I wasn't aware our Gov't were planning to make any changes to it. The Germans have been quite vocal about our low corporation tax for sometime now, you would have to be extremely niave to think that now the cards are in their favour, they won't change it.

    I don't believe this 60 days lark but it's not wildly off, sometime in either January or March, that large cash pile the Government put aside is going to dry up.

    Meh... Apathy. I've an LC to worry about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭sollar


    I wish i understood it all then i could get angry at who's at fault. I wish most of us understood it then we could put pressure on those in power to do what's in our best interests. But i fear nobody really understands it and were headed for hell in a hand cart as they say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 100 ✭✭afterhours


    I think ireland should lend some more money to other failing countries.. that's the good idea.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,162 ✭✭✭Augmerson


    Meh... Apathy. I've an LC to worry about.

    I'd be worried if I were you, sorry to wreck your head. By the time you pass your LC, College fee's will be up to 3,000 euro if the Gov't gets it's way, and even if you and your family can afford that, your only going to have to emigrate once you graduate from college because there will be no jobs here. Honestly though, best of luck in the LC, keep the head down but don't let it stress you.

    I'll worry about all of that once I get through the university gates ;)
