    RECESSION OVER, says the Indo.

    http://www.independent.ie/


    Should I come back and buy a gaff and a few investment properties?

    What's the feeling on the ground from ground zero?

    I could only see part of the thread title and assumed it was going to be "The receding is over, time to shave my head?"

    No it's feckin not over, we will have many more years of hardship and bull**** from the current government before the ordinary people start to see some improvements. Just because BS figures shows slight improvement means absolutely nothing to the vast majority not will it make any meaningful difference to our lives.

    Are things feeling better at home? Will there be a job waiting for me at the airport?

    i can think of many people who would gladly sell you their "gaff" at 2005 prices if your really in the mood to party

    YES! Time to start throwing my change in the bin again!

    Give it a few weeks and there will be talk of a triple dip recession.
    And we have another budget coming up. According to Mr Noonan we will have the same ratio of spending cuts and tax increases.
    No party in my underpants to celebrate this.

    I think the politicians and bank managers deserve a rise for their handling of this.

    Anyone want to join me in buying apartments in Bulgaria off the plans?

    Not unless you come home right now otherwise it will be too late and all the houses will be unaffordable oh and by the way prices will never come down


    Ah 2005 we really had our heads screwed on didn't we:P

    Plenty of jobs if you have the skills, but getting taxed up the ar*e.

    Is there many nice low tax jobs for me in UAE if I get off the plane in Dubai?

    Dubai, where human rights don't get in the way of making a fast buck.

    I remember predicting the end of the economic miracle back in '99. Admittedly, I got it a few years wrong but to some people it was like I had committed some heinous crime in front of them!

    The recession will not reverse for some time yet, I'm afraid. Not until the political mindset has changed and the will of the people to do so.

    I feel richer already.

    I remember arguing with someone that the arse would fall out of the housing market and he maintained that no, prices would just stabilise. I tried to point out that a look at the history of housing markets showed that would never happen.

    Didn't matter, Ireland was different.

    I think the fact of living abroad and only coming home to Ireland once/twice a year made it easier for me the madness that was going on. I hated going out with friends during the Celtic Tiger, it seemed like a competition to see who could throw away their €50 notes the fastest.
