The Exchequer is haemorrhaging cash at a rate never seen before and loosing revenue likewise. Obscene cuts a will happen in health, education, security and social welfare, and will continue for the rest of our lives

easypazz wrote: » You were more specific, you said there will be a downturn next year. That article does not support your view at all. It is obvious the downturn is happening this year, right now, with everything closed, and as things reopen the economy improves, albeit at a slow pace.You did not mention a recovery, because you predicted a downturn next year, it is the IMF who predicted a recovery, next year. The downturn will be very sharp, followed by a slow recovery, or hopefully even a "V" recovery. But either way, your claim that there will be a downturn next year, is false.Do keep up.

This is chump change in comparison only this time everyone is in it with us, so they can’t point at the thick Irish and leave us to it You seem to like a bit of drama, hopefully they cut social, to the bone as well. In terms of the rest, it’s a few weeks, we have got ourselves out of before and will again It’s times now to weed out the wasters, dump them up to Keelings to pick strawberries. The workers need to take over. Government should come out now and kill the insurance fraud s**t. Put in stops to people having kids they can’t afford....put some laws in place to reward people going to work and not the waster sitting at home
