That'll never stop now company's realise they can get free labor,and the majority of the population will continue not giving a crap as long as it doesn't affect them.

We're the fastest growing economy in Europe at the moment.

Makes all the protests and anti-austerity heads look like ****ing morons all over again.

darkpagandeath

Err Has it not all been exports, Domestic economy has only started this quarter. And they have been fiddling with the figures, Crime, drugs, Prostitution are all taken into account now.

smellmepower

'Fastest growing economy' spiel doesn't wash with the many who are being forced onto JB and other unemployment figure massaging schemes.

No suit mentions turning a corner, traffic jams back to normal levels and Marks and Spencer announce a surge in food sales.

Don't kid yourself they are here to stay, why would anyone pay for a short term employee, or a long term more expensive one, when the taxpayer will do it for you for free

Just sit tight and whatever you do don't pay any debt you may have accumulated by living outside your means.

The guys that wrote that article look like morons too.

The bullish prediction is driven by what the broker describes as a “clear recovery in the domestic economy”,

They can't even spell 'bullshît' properly. :rolleyes:

You take two people and ask them to do a 200 meter sprint every day for a year.

A lean muscled experienced sprinter.

A 20 stone fat dude.

At the end of the year, who would have improved more as a percentage?

A gang of builders waiting on breakfast rolls in our local Spar yesterday - with high viz jackets displaying the name of a construction company.

My Daughter had a patio laid 2 weeks ago and a neighbour got one this week.

Ergo the recession is over after all?

Might be a sign, if the decklanders are back, all she needs now is a patio heater to waste heat outside.

Perhaps the opposite is needed and those that can spend and live better should be more obvious. Confidence in the economy coupled with injecting cash can go a long way in getting things back in swing.

Have we really become that thick as a nation by swallowing all the "THE POOR LITTLE PEEPLE HAS NO MONIES" ****e that the media and populist politicians spouted that you think that the country showing clear signs of recovery is something that shouldn't be considered positive?

Tired of you miserable bastards ignoring facts.

You've lost me there. It was paid back in full about 3 years earlier than the term. That was around 1988/89.

And in six months of being at home in Ireland they'll get bored and "go off travellin' " which will be lauded as the best thing a young Irish person can possibly do because they get to "go out and see de wurld while de're still young".

This and "havin' ta leave de country for a job" are definitely not the exact same thing, oh god no.

Young people hate traveling when there's a recession and love it during booms. Weird, isn't it?

The only morons are the stooges that swallow such shít. What next? Run out and tell everyone to get on the property ladder quick? Give me a first world Health service, one where patients don't die waiting for an Ambulance. Or one where patients don't have to share an ambulance. Better still, let's see a reversal of the front line services butchery. Maybe even give some counties back a basic ER service with Emergency cover. Now when I see that, then maybe I'll believe things have improved slightly.

Go out and enjoy the early bird, cooking on Sunday is a form of torture, life is hard enough.

WilyCoyote

OK then. If Sunday cooking is out the window with you, try this. Shank of Lamb cooked on Saturday evening [when you and 'er indoors are having a few snifters (and you know what's going to happen after she gets loosened up)]. Prepare the Zucchini and Summer Squash as she begins to talk about your courting days, so a quick sauté with a shot of Garlic on the morrow will suffice - and the Artichoke Spears will simmer in no time.
Don't forget to turn off the gas rings before retiring .......... otherwise you'll be front page on Monday morning.
Good luck!
