Ireland Officially Finished Now - Stress Test

    Stress test has revealed that our perception of the national debt is only a drop in the ocean. Everyone in the country must cough up more shortly. Tracker mortgages are going to be raised in the next month - meaning mortgage holders will default on their loans putting an end to the zombie banks.

    That's 70,000 divided by 4.2 million people= €16,666 extra debt per person, per man, woman and child. Or rather, €833 euro per person per year extra in interest alone. I'm eagerly awaiting for the real protests to begin. You thought your woes had ended when Fine Gael and LP were voted in - think again. It's just the beginning.

    I am taking my money out of the bank and transferring it into Swiss accounts. I suggest you do the same AH - or else you'll lose everything.

    PRESS RELEASE

    31 March 2011 - ECB announces the suspension of the rating threshold for debt instruments of the Irish government

    The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) has decided to suspend the application of the minimum credit rating threshold in the collateral eligibility requirements for the purposes of the Eurosystem’s credit operations in the case of marketable debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the Irish government. The suspension applies to all outstanding and new marketable debt instruments. It will be maintained until further notice.

    The Irish government is implementing the economic and financial adjustment programme negotiated with the European Commission, in liaison with the ECB, and the International Monetary Fund. The Governing Council has assessed the programme positively. The suspension announced herewith is based on this positive assessment of the programme, the commitment of the Irish government to fully implement it and the Irish government’s decisions of 31 March 2011 to ensure – following its thorough asset valuation exercise – a capital increase totalling EUR 24 billion (out of which EUR 3 billion in the form of contingent capital), for four Irish banks, and to deleverage and downsize the banking sector.

    The Governing Council therefore deems debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the Irish government to fulfil the credit standards required for collateral in Eurosystem credit operations. The relevant risk control measures will be reviewed on a continuous basis.

    http://www.ecb.int/press/pr/date/2011/html/pr110331_2.en.html

    Translation:

    We are so broke that our government bonds are not worth sh*t under normal accounting procedures. However because we have become a vassal state through the EU/IMF structural adjustment programme, they are willing to overlook this so long as we keep toeing the line. If we get uppity they will reinstate normal 'credit rating' and stop pretending our bonds are worth anything, triggering instant total bankruptcy.

    Was it not Labour that said they would under no circumstances hand over any more money to the banks? and if they did it would not be heaped on the taxpayer?

    I can only assume they were keeping very quiet today ( I havnt sen any of the press conferences)

    Just goes to show it's very easy to piss and moan while in opposition and promise the people everything........

    I wouldn't worry about it, everyone gets stressed when doing tests.

    Do you know what? There will be people here on boards who would be more than happy to feed their kids a diet of turf and coal for life just to give their money away. Tell them that they are racist and they give you the shirts on their backs. Educated workforce my arse

    Trackers going up?:confused: Please tell me more..:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 Locked Messed Monster


    Nothing to worry about. You just have to see the US debt to see that.

    By nothing to worry about I mean they are more fooked than us and don't even realise it yet.

    A minor distraction really.

    Hang OP, let's be clear here. FG's policy was to support the actions of FF and continue their' policy of austerity for the benefit of bankers. People voted for them because of this. You can't now start misrepresenting people's wishes.

    7 trillion? Surely some mistake!

    That's seven thousand billion :eek:

    I recall the Albert Reynolds getting 5 Billion in structural aid from the EU. This was greeted with huge fanfare as it was going to provide us a modern infrastructure.

    Money comes and goes in cycles...we will bounce back... eventually...in about 20 years perhaps? Just hazarding a guess :o

    Seriously, it doesnt matter what FG/Lab do now because of the financial hand grenade they've been handed.
    They'll default in six months or sooner because they'll have no choice.

    Time to start putting money in the mattress because we'll be like Weimar frigging Germany soon, as in taking a basket of euro's to buy a loaf of bread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,806 ✭✭✭D1stant


    So lets see we are at about 180B in total debt now. With 1.8M people working thats 100k per person at something like 5% interest

    Picture your typical 'upwardly' - i.e tax generating PAYE familly 2 kids, 2 jobs, large mortgage........

    1. Get your money safe if you have any

    No, because there isn't anything they can do about FF's mess, except default.

    That's 70,000 divided by 4.2 million people= €16,666 extra debt per person, per man, woman and child.

    There is nowhere near 4.2 million people in Ireland right now.

    Hmm last time I looked Fine Gael and Labour form the current government.

    FF policy over the last 14 years copper fastened by the PD's with the help of some very naive greens have lead this country into the mess that we now face.

    Its now falling on FG and the Labour party to clean up the mess or maybe we should let SF and ULA into gov supported by Lowry and Healy Rae to clear up the mess:rolleyes:

    Edit: Forgot to add members on boards should not encourage people to create a run on any bank that will just make things worse.

    Indeed, and also that they cannot fix the situation even if they try, and they won't even try.

    Hate to say it but the 1.8 million people working is more likely 1.4 million. 450k on dole, plus 150,000/200,000+ who have left plus people returning to college or other education.....

    Dunno about that either. Had a fellow on RTE tonight (European economics steering group?) saying Europe never endorsed the blanket guarantee and that it was completely wrong of the previous government to do so.

    No-one is going to tell us how this bizarre blanket guarantee came into effect until there's a trial called. Every government advisor has denied suggesting it to them .
