Why would you need compulsory redundancies in a sufficiently long enough transition period?
What you quoted is still revenue only. The net effect is referring to export / imports not the net of revenue vs expenditure.
in 2010 you couldn't sell a house in Ireland, now 10 years later and you are trying to tell me that in the future nobody will be able to afford a house? quit with the propaganda rubbish. The ass could fall out of the market in 12 months and we could be back to 2010
We wont be back in the same position as 2010 in 12 months,jesus wept🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The market wont solve this.....there is no empthy ghost estates left in my area,there isnt an over supply....you goys are utterly deluded
If an average person,cant buy an average,shouldnt the whole thing should collaspe,the fact it isnt is evident enough the market wont solve itself.......personally speaking i felt those forgien health care assistants interviewed during pandemic openly admitting they were living in over crowded houseshares was a farce being presented as "progress:"
Liberials have done same as the english and landed us effectively back into time of tenaments....if this is progress (or as you goys say high standred living),what is failure??
Why would you require compulsory redundancies in a sufficiently long enough transition period?
You are misrepresenting as suspected.
In the meantime you'd have to make the savings elsewhere or risk not achieving the proposed benefits of unity.
I don't think you understand what a liberal or liberalism is, you don't seem to grasp a "crash & boom" economy which is the cycle Ireland is in. Plus I don't think you understand what a tenement is.
No idea what the "jesus wept" reference is to? Im not religious
Why do yous want people to support an econmic system... that yous openly admit will go boom and bust cycles???(which also results in huge ineqalities).......its nothing short of brain posioned by propaganda to dismiss any other system out of hand,while openly admitting yous support something primed to collaspe/crash regularly🤣🤣liberials are a farce
Im well aware of tenaments are....though iirc ffg liberials wanted newer types referred to as boutique hotels?
Are you calling 'scenarios' proposals now? Oh dear.
Always the same when things aren't going your way.
Whatever the proposal is at the time will have to off set the slower transitional approach elsewhere.
Or we'll just endevour to pay our way like we have since the island was disastrously partitioned
Must not have gone too bad in the Republic if you think we can afford NI.
Can we run the whole island jh?
Yes we can.
Of course we can due to the success of the Republic.
Calling the Republic a disaster isn't going to help the cause up North with the undecided.
Who is calling it a 'disaster'? Not I.
That's what I thought you meant with "disasterous partition". Fair enough if that's not the case.
I highly doubt we will be in the same position in 12 months time as regards the housing market. The reason we had the housing market collapse in 2010 was because the housing bubble blew up in our faces and the FF government of the days level of incompetence in handling the situation brought the whole country to its knees economically. A scenario I do not see happening in the next 12 months and furthermore I certainly hope it does not happen as for it to happen would mean the sinking of the economy and economic hardship on a major scale for most of the country. No thank you. Maybe your rich enough to not care but no thanks for me.
The situation as regards housing as it stands is an utter disgrace and it is where it is now because FF and FG simply refuse to reign in foreign vulture funds and that is the key. Yes they should also be doing more to build social housing also but the key IMHO is stopping the vulture funds running riot and they simply refuse to reign them in which is utterly shameful and a disgrace.
You still haven't defined what a liberal is.
But I get it, it's just a boogeyman, a scapegoat, something you don't like and you blame all the ills of the world on 'liberals' something something.
Wash, repeat, etc....
Do you take the same approach to these reports as to say, reports on Climate Change?
If 99% of scientists agree with one version and 1% agree with another, who may be on the lobbyist payroll, should we take both versions as truth?
Come off it, dancing on a pinhead as usual.
'A textbook liberal'
LOL, just LOL!!
I’m less interested in what the Brits are up to than what’s good for our island. UI is presented as the end of all worries and/or a fait accompli that’s already been signed for. Neither is true. Let’s see the details.
Do you agree that the security forces south of the border have virtually no ability to deal with an insurgency of any sort? We relied on the Brits to defend us in WWII for crying out loud, and things have gone downhill since then. ANY sustained violence in NI would be an existential problem for the new state and could lead to repartition. This is the sort of reality-based thinking I don’t hear from the UI Now crowd. They’re like Dublin auctioneers c.2006 - what can possibly go wrong?
Isn't it quite fortunate that they'll be joined by almost 7000 new members who have extensive experience dealing with the Loyalist drug dealers you think will suddenly become capable of insurgency, despite historic evidence showing they were only capable of anything of the sort when supported by British security forces?
I’m less interested in what the Brits are up to than what’s good for our island. = Does not compute.
Nor does the rest of it. A UI being presented as the 'best' way forward for this divided and stunted island not the end of 'all our worries'.
I think there is zero evidence that loyalists could mount a UI destabilising campaign against a UI. Zero.
They have threatened violence since the Anglo Irish Agreement and it hasn't amounted to anymore than blocking roundabouts and wrecking their own areas.
They threatened 'destabilising protests' in Dublin with one Unionist/Loyalist on here saying he thought they should do it every Friday and it has amounted to a hill of cold beans.
They would have no support, no supply channels and would be quickly hemmed in and neutralised.
Convince me otherwise with facts.
Ah no, it's alright now Francie....apparently the great changes secured to the Protocol by the legal challenge and the British Government releasing another statement means the failed postponed Dublin protests are unnecessary now as that was sufficient progress to put talk of Unification to bed.
Which bit of increasing the rate by 5% but taking a tax of 5% and leaving them in the exact same financial situation do you not understand?
So how will they be plunged further into poverty? This is the problem with communists like yourself. Mathematics and economics are alien concepts.
So, we are back to the twenty year transition phase when nobody in the public service who leaves is replaced. So promotion opportunities are stopped for twenty years. Why would any young person stay or join the public service if the promotion opportunities created by older people retiring are not filled. Over time, the quality of public services would decline dramatically. It has been tried before and failed.
This shows once more that neither you nor SF have a clue.
Can you link to 'it has been tried before and failed'? We should be able to work out why it failed and adjust.
And ever here the Beckett line, about 'trying'? Why ever would you allow failure to stop you trying?
It failed for the reasons explained in my post. Waiting for the public service to downsize naturally and freezing pay-rates causes problems with promotion opportunities and quality of service. Has happened here a couple of times already.
Not in the least surprised that you haven't looked further than a soundbite when thinking about your ideas.
