Can I pay it up front in cash and then opt out of all the taxes?

who what when

Its ok they need it for very important things like extortionate salaries, bonuses, expense accounts etc. Glad we are here to help them in their hour of need while they very efficiently turn the screw on people up to their necks in debt!

Well we each now actually "owe" €58k, based on the total cost of 70 billion and around 1.2 million tax payers.

Will any of my 6k be used to pay bankers bonuses or golden handshakes

thebaz

awhile ago i was shot down for having a go at AIB, and in particular its old chief executive Eugene Sheey, he who got a €900,000 golden handshake and now gets a €529,000 ANNUAL PENSION!.

AIB were the big losers today , a point I tried to make awhile back , that they were little better than Anglo - and many fealt he was a good Chief Exec, and deserved his rewards - well today the truth has outed for everyone to see how badly he ran AIB !

To me it is completely wrong now that AIB is state owned , his pension should be stopped immediately, he should receive no more than the State pension, and count himself lucky to receive such, as normal decent people throughout Ireland have to survive on such, with no golden handshake money. it is disgusting he is rewarded so obscenely, for effectively running AIB into the ground, whilst many in Ireland are driven to such extreme poverty , through unemployment and negative equity .

I dont think that is what the announcement means but im open to correction, as far as i know both boi and aib are still technically publically traded companies (ie not state owned) but aib and esb will become the same entity in the medium term

without state money , aib would be no more - kaput / bankrupt - however they doctor up nice word, it is state owned , and will be when it merges with EBS

Just go on dole folks. And get cash in hand jobs.

its either being nationalised or its not? which is it? there is a massive difference, particularly for shareholders

as i say , it is nationalised, regardless of any fancy wording - and for shareholders, all i can say is sorry, theyll be pretty worthless - dont think it will impact much on the chief architect mr. sheehy

Agree 100% with all you said there, except the last bit. Unemployment and negative equity are not going to put anyone into extreme poverty. Extreme poverty is a far bleaker scenario.

There's no evidence to suggest that. The reason we're supporting these banks may no be clear to a majority of people but we can't assume that they would not trade after appointing a receiver and have their future loans and deposits guaranteed only.

That's kind of hard when you're a working professional. No legitimate business will pay you cash.. What you're reffering to - coke and hookers is it?

so without state money AIB would be solvent ?

the books dont add up , put simply any other business would go to the wall, with such a disastrous balance sheet .

Its not impossible to win the lottery 5 weeks in a row, but the law of probablity says it wont happen to the average punter, similar chance of AIB being solvent without state aid

Well at least those people who told us so can say they told us so.

this bit is quite incredible , why no more in the media ??

"Included are companies such as Goldman Sachs who have been advising the Irish government on their strategy w30 %hich may raise a conflict of interest question. "


p.s. not too many poor little old ladies, I'm sure most of the companies listed could take a 30 - 40 % hit , without causing much pain , as is currently being inflicted on the well troden people of ireland.

Where's my ****ing bailout?

ilovesleep

'Cheepest bailout ever'

Regarding these words from the bo11ocks lenihan, Im guessing we're not the first country to bail out banks.
Why in the holy name of god are banks allowed to be privately run in any country when they eventually turn to governments for assistance. Banks deal with millions every day. After they run their course and look to be bailed out, economies of such countries are in jeopardy.

(just a random thought)

the first serious warning sign for me , and I'm no economist but do i like a gamble, was hearing car park spaces were being bought for over 130,00 in central Dublin - at the time you could have bought a mansion in france for that

Oh my god
Why would a bank lend that kind of money to someone for a fcuking parking space?

Cant believe the financial regulator isn't locked up for negligence and allowing banks to get so bad and toxic.

Can't believe bertie ahern isn't locked up for negligence. His government was in power and they had a chance to cool the over-heating of the economy and he did nothing but allowed it to spiral out of control.

We will be paying the price for decades, thats if we dont default. Then we will be a fcuk a poor country for decades more.
