Where as every TV economist has spoken of the economic non-sense of the FF/FG plan. Better to be half right than 100% wrong IMO.

Yeah we'll just tear up the IMF agreement and send them packing. We can't go to the markets. We've no money to run the country. Class!!

FF will be lucky to get 20 seats nationally...........THERE IS A GOD!

Noel Dempsey, a former Fianna Fáil minister retiring from politics, said a nationwide total of 20-plus seats was all the party could hope for.

“It’s looking pretty grim,” he said.

“And to get a result in the low 20s would be good.”

This is what Dempsey has just said on BreakingNews.ie

On another note - will we need to set up a FAS course for all the unelected FF former TD's

I know default would be bad,but ffs it doesn't beat our prospects should SF get into government,their economics is 1+1=3

Rounded down 1.4 can be considered equal to 1.
1.4 + 1.4 = 2.8. Rounded up can be 3. QED!!

The economists you are quoting from haven't said that and BTW we can't go to the markets because we're neck deep in the debts of bankers. No investor in their right mind is going to lend to us when we already owe €140bn+.

BTW who are you going to borrow from after we default?

Great to see "Mr Tallaght" gone ha ha ha ha ha btw he is fcuking scum in my eyes

This thread would wreck your head, some posters seem to think that they can speak for everyone and anyone with a different opinion is obviously stupid and ill informed.
Thank God for democracy and a new government

Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has arrived in the Louth constituency count centre where unofficial tallies of votes showed he was set to comfortably win a seat.

From Breakingnews.ie

I suppose this is a move that had to be done for Sinn Fein to become a feasible political party in the south.

Sinn Fein want to burn all bond holders, tell the IMF to get lost and use the pension fund to start a stimulus economy. This is their economic plan. No one one ever lend us money again, we'd be out of the euro, and no foreign investment would come here. Ireland would be a third world country in 12 months. This is comedy gold.

Pure fantasy from the land of RTE. Sinn Fein have said we'd burn those non-sovereign bond holders who we don't owe anything to. Not that I'm a fan of SF but at least they have the basics right. The separation of public and private debt has to happen. That's the actual reality.

Unless you can pull hundreds of billions of euro out of your ass and would really like to help those poor 'auld derivatives traders and speculative gamblers we have no other choice.

Over reliance on foreign investment isn't a good thing either and the euro is doomed anyway, not defaulting is just going to prolong the pain,
There will be more cuts in the next budget and then the next and then the next, we will be a 3rd world country soon enough

FG want to burn junior bond holders. You can't burn them all. We have to return to the makets at some stage in the future and have to be realistic here.

Sinn Fein have enough money in the pension fund to last 10 months. Then where the hell do we get money to run the country? We couldn't go to the markets so needed a bailout from the IMF. Sinn Fein don't want the IMF money. So where the hell do we get the money to run public services? This is pure lunacy. Joe Higgins lunacy.

McWilliams, Ross et al. absolutely do not agree with SF's economic policies.

EDIT: for the 2nd time... sinnfein.ie - is the simplest for seeing how each individual is doing. Click on the constituency and it will tell you how every person is doing. Very simple.

Where did the rest of that money in the pension reserve fund go again? Oh yeah, FF/FG pissed it up against the wall trying to save their banker mates.

We separate our sovereign debt, tell the banks to fix their problem they have with creditors ( like they should have done day one) and then return to the markets like we have always done.

It's pure delusion that we caould afford to take on this unmanageable debt of the banks. The FG leader has already told you he doesn't even know how much they owe.

Queen-Mise · 26-02-2011 04:30PM

t looks like a good day for Fine Gael, Labour, Sinn Féin, and Independents and smaller parties, and a dismal prospect for Fianna Fáil and the Greens.
Only Trevor Sargent and - as a very outside possibility - Eamon Ryan still look like they could challenge for seats for the Greens.
It is looking black for Fianna Fáil, especially in the capital, where Brian Lenihan in Dublin West could be the only survivor.
The party is also facing wipeout in Clare, Donegal, Roscommon, Leitrim, Tipperary, Wicklow - the picture may improve as the day wears on, but even still, it's a disaster for Fianna Fáil.

It just makes me so happy to see FF & GP going so bad.
