It could be as high as 10%

Mr. Manager

Ugh, stop.

He's on Six One talking out of his hole now, if you really want to watch it.

I hope Vincent Browne is in the audience.

We need James Bond, his father and his entire family to take a hit for the good of the country. Find him an Irish passport quick.

If he did invest unwisely why should I pay for his Aston Martins and Ferraris

a tax on thinking about drink.
In fact a tax on all thoughts both negative and positive.
A tax on big words, a tax on typing, a tax on text and texts and schoolbooks, on reading and talking. Return of the glimmerman.

Thats a lot of percentages.

Whats that in Punts?

Cowen is one hard necked fcuker.. he keeps letting slip things like 'it'll cost the Irish government less to borrow the money this way'.. what the hell does that mean?! It means it'll secure the status-quo for those in charge.. nothing to do with the expense being transferred onto us by the whole failed system. It'd be cheaper if we told the lot to fcuk off and just started again.. allow new banks to set up here and redesign the entire political system.

How about they give the 85bn to us the people, we run one big streamlined coop, take on the loans that can justify their existence, drop the rest, lend to industry, get the country running again and get it all payed back in about 2 years.

All we are making at the moment is on the econotourism from all the journalists coming here to see how bad it is, they are going to get bored and leave with all the rest of the emigrants.

Terminal 2 will be like Ellis Island in reverse.

1993 with bells on

They should streamline the processing and kick the undeserving ones out of the country asap.

Tucking Fypo

Hmmm. I just don't get the reason why we have to house and support foreign nationals on our 'borrowed cash'. Dublin is jam-packed with them. :rolleyes:

There's cnts in Kildare St that should be sent to a salt mine in Siberia for contaminating future generations with debt, they should be included in said process. :mad:

Vast Majority of them are scam artists, most africans are in fact economic refugess, come here get fed housed and then have 5-6 kids so they can get more welfare, time has come for us to deport these people en masse and look after our own people.
And then you have the deserving refugees which Ireland took in from palestine refugee camps and refugee camps in Asia, these people are the real refugees and deserve our support and aid until they can get on there feet.
