Any treaty change will require another referendum in many states and this time you’ll be told to stick your EU up your AH.

You have to “go Egyptian” on them. You have to put so many angry people on Dublin’s streets that they move the government to Limerick for safety. That’s how many people this is going to take. Remember, these are the sons of the people who brought you the Great Hunger. It may be 150 years later, but they’re playing by the same rules. They will starve you and your children to please their foreign masters.

Austerity is just s fancy name for poverty.

The EU is on a massive power trip and grab. They will use this “crisis” to scare the masses and they will obediently oblige. What this treaty proposes is to enshrine “austerity” into our constitution. Two words for the EU, the second word is Off

Don’t think the Irish will vote from any treaty coming from Europe again

Ireland unfortunately has become a place that is only for the wealty, healty and people in the know, sych as Endas friend that got his pay reviewed upwards. If your elderly, sick, disabled or have no work then Ireland is not for you. Something like this was Hitlers philosophy. Are you the people of Ireland going to stand for this. If you don’t shout you won’t be heard. So you have to shout out very loudly. Give us back the Ireland our ancesters fought and died for, and tell the Hitlers bastards to go fuck yourselves. All that is needed is COURAGE

I don’t think we’ll be given the opportunity to vote. They know by this stage, that they’ll be told to “go away”, but less politely.

Time for a default and quick exit

I think what he’s threatening here is that further bailout funds that become available by virtue the ‘pooling’ of euro-zone debt would be conditional on austerity measures imposed on weaker country by the ‘Big Willie’ nations. This may be a way of avoiding Treaty change and instead attach a ‘begging bowl’ imperative.
Stick your Willie where your mouth is Herman!

The notion of central austerity is ill considered of local law, union agreements and all the protections that make it impossible for our own guys to enforce reform. I’d like to see the take on the HSE and win.

NFFM: There has already been a coup d’état in this country. It may have been performed economically rather than militarily and by private corporate interests and big business as opposed to another state, but that’s what has happened nonetheless. If people took the time to really understand Lisbon they would realise that we are now part of a European Federation in all but name and our constitution is no longer worth the paper it was written on. Only a collective, conscious awakening can reverse this, a realisation that WE have the power and that only by ceding our power to our so-called paymasters can they have any hold over us. Peaceful, mass civil disobedience is the ONLY possible way out for Ireland. Alas I feel the people of this island have been sleepwalking for far too long and are unlikely to do anything at this stage about the rape and pillage of our once proud nation, preferring instead to focus on trivialities and point fingers while largely refusing to accept any individual responsibility for the mess we’re in. I am of the opinion that until we free ourselves from fear and begin to take personal action things will continue to worsen.

I’m so sick of this sh#t. I didnt even bother reading the article after I saw its heading. They got the cuts they asked for in today’s budget. We’re “playing ball” with them in terms of the austerity package (I’d never come across the word austerity up till about a year ago btw) what do they want next? Blood? My first born child? They can have my piece of crap house I bought at the peak of the market.

Take one good look at that rheumy eyed cretin in that photo at the top of this article and try tell me that he is not an evil bastard.

The euro is joke the government are pandering to their puppet masters in Europe . Germany want to keep going with the euro because it benefits them to our detriment we need to get out and default now let the euro chips fall where they may

And then they’ll ask us again and we’ll bend over and say pass the Vaseline.

I’d love to take a PUNT on it but I am no good at maths :)

Be sure that Ireland will vote YES in any referendum. We will be sweetened with less Interest rates on our bailout and possibly a cut in overall debt owed. If the EU propaganda machine can convince what was once one of the proudest patriotic people in the world to give away their Independence and Sovereignty, be sure the next referendum will be a walk in the park

The budget in Ireland will be of little benefit if the Euro Crumbles.

I wonder who’s doing the catering @ this shindig later on ??

WE are at the mercy of the markets. They will decide the fate of the Euro. I hope this Friday Minsters metering in Brussels will come up with a solution. Not a lot of talk as they usually do. Things are to seirious now. There is an need for genuine action. I am in favour of the ECB helping out.

Nope Simon ? shall leave for another day ??

I hope the E U gets a treaty passed as we seemed to screw up our own country perfectly. It couldn’t have been a more perfect sabotage of our country yet we blame others. When the SSIA’s were introduced whereby you received a 100% return on your money from the government I thought that was the beginning of the end. Who gives away money? Not the Germans.
Now we must pay for all the giveaways. Our government under FF killed our future and this lot are assisting in our burial.
