Claire Byrne Live (RTE1)

Banks hoping for prices to keep going up so they can cover their asses.

Did Brendan come straight from the golf course?

What an absolute tool. Why does this program have a guest idiot most weeks?

You're clearly looking at it from an extremely right-wing perspective. The media is far from left-wing, and Ireland is remarkably unequal.

ireland is not remarkably unequal by any measure , dan o brien has written extensively on the subject , your ( or vincent browne ) may not like this but its a reality

Claire has no hope here.

Austerity was needed.

SU president of TCD. Had a baby at 15 because she was afraid she'd die at 16 and wanted to get all her living done.

I've never understood how you can claim to be a Christian.

She's making me pro-Banker too.

I'd love to get O'Carroll pissed and then get a marker and draw a pair of eyes on the top of his head to give those glasses a meaning in life.

I do implement austerity for myself if I can't afford something. If money not there one can borrow, but one can only borrow so much before you can't borrow anymore. Ireland reached that position.
You need austerity to get things back on track.
The alternative was far worse.

This girl shows us whinging Irish for what we are.

Croatian woman speaking sense.

the last several years is a reaction to an era of over spending

call it " austerity " or whatever we like but the years from around 2003 - 2007 were unsustainable , an economy cannot revolve around people selling each other houses and using the taxes such transactions generate to swell the bank accounts of public servants

More of the Croatian girl please !

The current controls set to limit building of new houses is causing more harm to the economy than the good that was intended for the banks.

I hate this crap.

These last 2 women speak more sense than anyone else.

Had a friend over from Slovenia a while back. She couldn't believe how good things are over here. She was the first in her family that could work the farm without being married to a man.

Some mad sense being spoken in the last couple of minutes in fairness

What the hell is the point of these video messages? They clearly have Skype back home.
