Our unemployment rate has gone up or down since then?

When you're at bottom,which we were at the time there is only really one way to go...took a while for those jobs to appear too,i remember Lenihan at the time when questioned about this saying there was never any guarantee of jobs....only for a photo of him behind the same banners giving the thumbs up...very embarrassing for him

Oh and "vote yes for jobs!"

I remember challenging a canvasser/councillor (?) on that one. His response was along the lines of "sure the EU will be giving us jobs!" and that they'd punish us if we didn't toe the line. Should have been put on bus really.

Will we ever forget Sarkozy "the Irish must vote again" and was in Dublin within a week...meanwhile the EU were frothing at the mouth over Mugabe and his one man candidate election..the irony was lost on them

What is the point of this. If you aren't interested then don't go. I do not believe Ireland should leave the EU but i have no problem with people discussing why we should leave. Why try and ruin their event?

Because they are trying to sow dissent and ruin our country?

Btw, if you are booking tickets use real looking names. Homer Simpson is too easy to screen out, eg Ciaran Hughes is not.

Ah, Farage. The prick that got what he wanted, and left for someone else to clean up his mess.

More than that, I guess by leaving this open boards.ie has put itself in the position of being a platform from which online trolling is organised. Bit of a dangerous move I imagine.

How is hiding away different opinions and belittling others good for the country (not accusing you of belittling, more some attitudes in this thread)? All thoughts and ideas should be discussed openly with facts and reason or you risk the silent being forced into a "shock" majority. Or has that lesson gone completely unlearned from the past year.

So we were clearly at the bottom at that time and it wasn't possible for things to get any worse, like we couldn't have ended up like say Greece? Or unemployment couldn't have gone up another 5 points to Spain levels?

Pity you weren't around here with such optimism at the time, all sorts of doom-mongering were going on.

Yeah a good bit of mockery and ridicule should sort this lot out.

Worked a treat on trump and brexit leave voters.

Irexit or whatever you want to call it would be a terrible move for our country, but this no platforming, shouting down and shaming carry on is a blight on our society too.

Two tickets booked.

Mr Tim Budong ("Tim Budong" sounds like Chinese for I don't know which is "Ting Bu Dong"")
Isionseache Farage( Irish Is Ionsioch E?). No Idea if it is correct. Trying to say he is an idiot.

And look what they've got us. The most powerful nation in the world being run by a thin-skinned, failed businessman/reality TV star who's a pastiche of everything the world ridicules the Americans for and a vote to leave the most prosperous trading bloc in the world because foreigners and German dictatorship. Serious intellectual heavyweights you're describing there alright.

I may be in the minority, but I would fully support a federalist Europe.

And that will get what they deserve: stripped back workers rights.

20 of 23 ministers in the UK government have spoken on record as being against the working time directive. It's fair in my opinion to prevent or disrupt some snake oil salesmen coming to take my rights.

If it were Irishmen who actually wanted to debate the point because they thought it would be in the interests of their country to leave the EU then I doubt people would have a huge issue with it.

It's Nigel fúcking Farage. Do you think he gives a shít about the people of Ireland? Clearly not, as he campaigned for an event that has the consequences of seriously fúcking up the Good Friday Agreement, and he nor anyone else on his campaign couldn't care less about what happens there. You only have to look at what was coming out of the tory party around the EU negotiations a few weeks ago to see what this type of politician in the UK thinks about Ireland, they haven't a notion what goes on here.

I am completely with you on the shouting down of others being unacceptable and often unhelpful to the cause you are campaigning for, but I'd still be happy enough to see people turn up to this just to throw boiling pots of piss at him.

I'm not which is worse, the idiots for it or the idiots against it.

It will work well here tbh, I think the Irish are alot more worldly in their affairs that either of those left or right of us.

But sure go on paint us with the dim brush.

Its not, Nigel Farage should be given a platform alright. off the edge of a ship. The gormless spineless loafer that he is.

No problem taking EU money and then going around crying about it, Oh and he was crying about how he should keep his pension afterwards
