Learn about standing up for the rights of irish citizens u mean? Sinn fein wont be in power, but having them in government will ensure some accountability for the rogues!!

Gerry will not close the banks, and that is just the usual dramatic pitch fianna failures throw out to frighten everyone to to toe the line
so get in line and cop on
gerry will not be running the country
gerry will not be closing the banks

however where has the fianna failure policy to help out or even stand up for the working people of this country
and if you throw the one about high taxes driving people out of the country,look around you 1000 people a week leaving at present

No party on this island would close the banks. You can't run a economy without having a bank institution, but we do not need, six or seven banks in a country of less than four million people, especially now since we are in a depression not a recession and lot of people are out of work, the demand for their services is not as once was, so this is a good time to wind down banks that are drag on society in terms of debt.

the way it is keltic knight is that this election is down to two outcomes
1/ finegael and labour forming coalition goverment to tidy up the mess fianna failures left behind
personally i think they will do a good job
as i have said before they will negotiate a new deal with europe on th einterest rate laid down by EU/IMF
2/sinn feinn and the faliures are battling it out to be the offical opposition party in the dail
this at present is suprisingly close
it would do this coutry good to have sinn fein as the opposition because like it or not they stand up and are counted not like the lie down failures we have had in power for the last 13/14 years

as regard knowing the ins and outs of economic policies i have not got a clue in respect to the large scale financial sums that are being dealt with

it was made clear that the deal made with imf/eu cant be changed,only thing that might happen but will be for all euro countrys in trouble,is maybe drop a little on interest rate,that as far as it will go,as far as sf goes,the only place for them in opposition,as thy clearly dont have policys that work or can put out figure too justafie anything they say,all they say pension fund,seem there answer too everything,they dont say where they get the 16 billion too run frontline services,and the 50 billion, as they will have said get lost imf and get lost europe,so they would get funds from there,tax take too little,a sf supporter here said raise taxes,so ireland go into a deeper recission,this was tryed in 70's and 80's ,raise taxes didnt work ,so wont now,

I personally would love to see the IMF/EU/IRE meeting to discuss a new deal live on rte 1 with Ireland represented by Richard Bruton, Eamon Gilmore and Martin mcGuinness(chief negotiator obviously).

Id say we'd get a decent deal.

will martin have his gun

leave this sf bull talk up in the north where it belongs,this is ireland

by the way up north is part of ireland
for once i agree with you keltic knightt leave the civil war politics where it belongs in the history books,
Much as you dislike gerry adams he is this countries best well known international politician and commands huge respect world wide
his work on the peace process stands to him

the fianna failures did not neotiate a deal they sold the country down the river
e gilmore m noonan will negotiate a new deal for ireland as the present deal is not viable,it would be prudent to take a much respected politican like adams into negotiations with you
I believethe full damage inflicted on the country has not been published yet, my own opinion is the the reason the interest rate so high is that the EU/IMF did not believe the fianna failures and are waiting for irish to be straight with them as to the full extent of debt

showing your true colours now. the north is ireland despite how much you would like it to go away just because micheal collins and fine gael turned their backs on the nationalists in the north leaving them to become second class citizens tortured and oppressed some of us in the south still felt a duty to try and help them out

election in ireland,the policys are for ireland ,not north,
might have been a better idea if gerry adams let the sf leader in ireland deal with ploicy here as its clear ,it might have been better

By the way the latest worst scenario forecast is that we only have 3 billion left after we give the money to the banks in six weeks time , potentially 30 000 jobs to go in public sector, scrapping of the croke park agreement, pensions are looking worrying to say the least, and all we have to do is grow some , and tell the bondholders the truth , sorry we should have told you a year ago but we cant pay our mortgage this month!!

If David is supporting the SF policy, in my mind, that is good reason to least consider their economic policy inpassing. He is a top notch economist, but there is many risks in burning senior bondholders, as you'd been going up against a policy, that has now been adopted by the European union to protect these bondholders until 2013, I Believe?

It obvious why that took place as some of the senior bondholders happened to be German and French!!

We'll need to borrow at a lower interest as possible, as the world is big place, THE EU can go to hell, if we can't get a better deal for this country from them, be under no illusions our friends in Europe are screwing us over on the interest rate. Were in a time that we should look after our own self interest,and stop worrying and thinking about what Europe might think of us.

I fully agree with your analysis. Look at Iceland a few years ago. They were in a worse place than us relative to the size of their economy and our economy. They did exactly what SF are saying and had the same threats made to them ie bad for Europe, must pay all debt, no one will ever lend to you again etc etc. None of it happened and now they are borrowing on the bond markets cheaper than ever before because they showed they can manage the national debt without the millstone of private bank debt around their necks.

The people of Iceland showed courage and that is what the Irish people must do in this election by voting for the only party who proposes the same as Iceland which is SF.

Otherwise foolish people who mistakenly vote for Fg / Lab thinking they will lift the burden from the people will find themselves in 5 years time making the very same complaints they are making now. AND much poorer for it after their politicians squander 36 Billion euro on private debt!!
