    Is there a case be to made for buying in some expertise for the negotiations we are currently in with the IMF / EU ? Delay everything for a week.

    I'd have no problem paying a few million for US or external consultants to face these IMF / EU guys down.

    I find it hard to have faith in our mob protecting our interests properly.

    A decade???? A century would be closer to the mark.

    As regards the negotiations, even some FF'ers are now admitting they don't have the expertise/ability to negotiate a good deal for Ireland:

    Breaking news ...

    Brussels confirms deal is complete .


    Op
    A decade ? You will be lucky .
    Even if we draw down half the €85 billion (42billion) and at the best available rates (Germany 2%)

    You do the scary math ..

    So taking €42 billion @2% / 2.2 millionwork force (max)

    That's a shoite load of years repayments , and the figures/rates above we have no chance of getting .
