    AH is getting to be boring. It's just constant "RABBLE-RABBLE WE'RE ALL DOOMED". It's not that bad, the IMF/ECB are merely advisory bodies which will tell us to make the cuts we're already planning anyway.

    Totally agree...I come on here to get away from the doom and gloom not to be reminded of it. It seems to be one of these threads every day now! :rolleyes:

    Can I withdraw yours instead, as I'm a bit namad at the moment, and it is almost the season of goodwill?:confused:

    Poor misguided fool, if the IMF comes in it's over my friend. Enjoy 18th century Ireland again.

    The ECB will call the shots on our corporation tax. I wasn't aware our Gov't were planning to make any changes to it. The Germans have been quite vocal about our low corporation tax for sometime now, you would have to be extremely niave to think that now the cards are in their favour, they won't change it.

    I don't believe this 60 days lark but it's not wildly off, sometime in either January or March, that large cash pile the Government put aside is going to dry up.

    I wish i understood it all then i could get angry at who's at fault. I wish most of us understood it then we could put pressure on those in power to do what's in our best interests. But i fear nobody really understands it and were headed for hell in a hand cart as they say.

    I'd be worried if I were you, sorry to wreck your head. By the time you pass your LC, College fee's will be up to 3,000 euro if the Gov't gets it's way, and even if you and your family can afford that, your only going to have to emigrate once you graduate from college because there will be no jobs here. Honestly though, best of luck in the LC, keep the head down but don't let it stress you.

    I'll worry about all of that once I get through the university gates ;)

    I remember being in Yugoslavia in 1989 when they were in the same economic difficulties we are in. The IMF enforced a 2:1 devaluation of the dinar, and reduction in wages all round.

    Within a year the federation collapsed as each republic sought its own way out of the mess. Then you had civil war, ethnic cleansing and the whole mess of the Balkan wars fro another 10 years.

    If Ireland goes broke what will happen????

    Mass emigration.

    Possible resurgence of sectarian violence if the North gets dragged into our difficulties.

    Certain increase in poverty, violence, civil unrest and possible government abuses as they try to counter all the above.

    The last major divisive difficulty we had in the south was the civil war in which at least 2,000 people died in one year. It led to decades of pointless divisions on FG/FF lines rather than the usual labour/conservative divisions of most European democracies and the crazy preponderance of power by FF which held power for 60% of the time since independence.

    If ever there was a time for the Irish motto "ni neart gan cur le cheile" then it is now........
