FG to just do nothing for the next 5 years.

satguy

It seems FG will be very happy to just sit on their hands for 5 years. Would FG voters be happy with this, as it means all those FG votes mean nothing, and do nothing.

Having been in power for 9 years, they did nothing, people have no homes, people still on trollies.

FG may have given some of their rich buddies some tax breaks.

But other than that, they did what FG do best, are their poor hands not numb by now.

again, money creation is already a magical process, so no need for new magical methods

So the rent freeze was constitutional all along it seems? Was this not one of the pre election lies spread by FFG? Like I said there's going to be lots of questions of these parties. Lots of stuff coming out in the wash due to this crisis.

Eoghan Murphy in December :

"Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy admitted rents are “impossibly” high, but he defended landlords and said they are an “important part of this country”.

He argued that rent freezes would “damage” supply and that the proposed Sinn Féin bill is “unconstitutional” and even “reckless”.

How about going back to the troika and saying that we need to wipe the interest payments for the next 3 years or Ireland is finished and they will never get another penny.
That will generate / save 18Bn euro in interest that we would otherwise pay over 3 years.

Haha
Germans and dutch who work till 70 will bend over backwards to accommodate the Irish sponger for their 65 retirement and free gaffs.
Wonder what you guys are smoking haha
Any leniency on payments will be tied to strict reforms. There’s no other way to reign into the irish sponger attitude.

Weeks a long time in politics. A cliche but never truer. Unless you have a severe persecution complex, you’ll be relieved we had a sound government running a surplus going into this disaster. This would have been a calamity under SF- there’s a lesson for all the people who naively voted for SF last month- you can’t spend massive sums you don’t have and must always have some sort of cushion for unknown rainy day. We’re very much back to basic reality now.

We paid the junior bondholders when we didn't need to. Maybe they can return the favour to FG and the country now?

We're in uncharted economic territory in case you haven't noticed, but every developed economy is going to have to reach for the magic money tree in a manner never seen before in history. Policies you're deriding in this very thread.

You're keeping the Punch and Judy 2008 staunch defenses of yesterday's policy responses going. This won't work any more. The world has changed completely

Amazing idea. Who is going to lend us the billions more we are potentially high to need in the next few years?

Doesn’t bare thinking about. Couple that with a very inexperienced and limited ability cabinet we’d be up **** creak. Knowing sf they’d probably give up and let someone else in to do the work. They do that in the north constantly

Yes they have centre left now (by Asian standards, which is more centre by European standards). But been run for decades as free market, low welfare state economies. Asian countries have no nanny welfare state, so they’ll all do fine. See Singapore, Japan etc.
