    Not bad going after 3 years, we have had to tighted our belts, in retrospect maybe we would have done some things differently, but we're definitely looking good.

    Critics of Mr Kennys govt will winge on about the fatc he wont attend a Vnny B debate, which let's be honest is for no other reason that to satisfy the bloodlust for internet 'commentators' and Vinny himself.

    His real legacy wil lie in reults, exiting the bailout, legislating for abortion, sticking it to the vatican, soon to be legalised same sex marriage.

    History wil be kind.

    Exiting the bailout isn't a particularly good idea at this stage, unless you happen to be IndaKinny() and are looking for political kudos in preparation for a plum job in that thar Yoo-Rope once he's finished making rubble of the place with his ol' mucker Angela.

    It's a ballsy move doing so unaided payoff being more confidence from the markets.
    Of course this govt doesn't ahve bals, but when they do it's a mistake

    lest we forget water charges, the UHC, the property tax?

    Yes he has done some great things but its not all sunshine and happiness.

    Unless of course all these are overturned now....

    Not sure about that.

    13% Unemployment

    1,000 people emigrating per week.

    A new class of working poor

    Running an eye-watering budget deficit, just to keep the lights on?

    But yeah, we are looking good from the Troika's point of view in terms of servicing our loans and massaging our jobless figures along with other macro-economic data.

    More balls than brains, it would appear. This is something like converting a mortgage into a credit-card balance, as opposed to the more orthodox other-way-aboot! :D

    from rte.ie
    He described the move as a “significant step” towards economic recovery.
    “Never again will our country’s fortunes be sacrificed through greed and short-term gain,” he said.

    I wouldnt count on that Enda, we will see if FF ever get back into power!
    Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said a case should be presented by the Government on why Ireland does not need a precautionary credit line.
    He said there was no need for a “stage managed” announcement.

    Ba ha ha, this coming from a FF minister! LOL! LOL!

    Does this mean all the extra taxes and increases we 've been made to take to get us out of the bailout will go?!

    Obviously not.....not sure you understand what is happening here?

    I'm actually happy with this announcement, why is everyone so bloody negative all the time (when negativity is only warranted 98.7% of the time)?;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,190 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    This has massively exposed the hypocrisy in the opposition parties.

    If we exited with a credit line, they would wax on about how it's a "hollow announcement" made only for political gain because we're still at the mercy of those supplying the credit line.

    We exit without a credit line and it's a dangerous and risky move, made only for political gain.
    This is something like converting a mortgage into a credit-card balance, as opposed to the more orthodox other-way-aboot
    It's more like leaving a bankruptcy arrangement and converting your debts into a mortgage.

    People have been whinging for so long about loss of sovereignty and being under the kosh of Frankfurt, and then when we talk about taking control back they whinge about what a bad idea it is.

    It just confirms for that most of the Irish electorate don't want anything more than to be able to bitch about the government.

    Im glad Enda does not go on VB or any tv debate in general. Its embarrassing watching him trying to string an intelligent sentence together. Whats up with the weird breathing technique whilst giving an interview??????

    Exiting the bailout= The one that shouldn't have happened in the first place

    Legislating for abortion = meh, couldnt care less

    Sticking it to the Vatican= That aint doing much for the economy

    Soon to be legalised same sex marriage = Dont see this getting passed & meh, not important

    You try giving an interview without breathing see how it goes :)

    The bailout should not have happened but it has, so we can only move on. I dont know what point you are trying to make with the rest of your post?

    When you spend more to run the country than you actualy take in taxes there's not much else you can do kiddo.

    The problem is from previous administrations 'buying' the electorate by cutting taxes to silly levels. Yet we still want Scandinavian style public services

    People are being negative because these bunch of hypocritical self serving A-holes in the government will now have more say in how/where our taxes/budgets/funding will go. It can only spell disaster, back to the Haughy years we go....

    How is that not a good thing? To regain even a modicum of our lost economic sovereignty should be welcomed.

    I am unsure as to why you received so many thanks.

    That is the nature of politics..

    And as for the bolded part, people are no different than the politicians that represent them, one party bitches about the other party. Have you watched what goes on in the dail.

    Not bad going after 3 years

    No not bad going at all. They managed to suck the life force out of our little nation. Rape our health services. Stifle growth, innovation, entrepreneurship and destroy small businesses. Returned us to the days, were the export of our youth & talent is a booming industry once again. Ah well, at least the banks are happy.

    Thats the only card they have it seems. No matter what they are challenged on the response is "Look what FF did" - yeah we know what FF did. We didnt vote you in (well I didnt ever vote for them) just so you could complain about the hand you were dealt. Man up and get over it and stop using the last govt as a scapegoat for all your own failings.

    Will it really? Why would history look back kindly on a Taoiseach who has done nothing other than join the dots as instructed. Who has merely carried on the policies of the previous administration and been a lapdog to his masters in Berlin and Frankfurt. The same-sex marriage and abortion stuff is being driven by labour, Enda privately opposes those.

    You might if your own gf/partner became pregnant unexpectedly, or if she was forced to continue carrying an unviable foetus to full term because our abortion laws are still rooted in catholic doctrine.

    According to the latest CSO figures, 50,900 Irish people emigrated in the 12 months to April. Overall, 89,000 people left the country in this period — an increase of 2.2% on the 87,100 in 2012.
