    Claiming that internationally, the recession is over. Ireland will "Return to growth within the next 6-9 months".

    Consumer prices "tumbled", will continue to fall slightly and will "cushion" effect of lower incomes.

    No one directly out of college should be buying a house, this is why the country is in the mess it is in.

    I think there is plenty more to it than that. And regardless to wheather are not they should or should not have being buying a house, they paid their taxes along with those who are over 23/25 and should be entitled to the same benifits. Some would say that this will be tolerated because they are in a group that is unlikly to vote and for me this is another reason why he country is in a mess.

    I spoke to an women a couple of weeks ago who was worried about her pensio, I told her it was unlikely to be touched as she will probably use her vote in elections. She said I better keep voting for them so. Said allot for me!

    Im OK, fcuk the rest.
