@John you have stated you are emigrating dropping the Irish accent asap,and delighted you have so little of the Irish gene pool coursing through your veins.Why are you so high in your praise of the government if your willing to stay and help the rest of us in the recovery of our state?
Perhaps maybe you are trolling on behave of one of the ruling political parties.

His post above has a point. Despite all our moaning, the tough austerity which “isn’t working”, and the complete lack of a top-down approach (so far anyway) – we are not that bad and we are coming around. Looks like we may be exiting our bailout agreement, sampling the markets as a start and one of our banks which looks set to leave its own “bailout” programme. Credit where credit is due but lets not shy away from ensuring fairness to cuts and savings the government make.

International employability, Norman.

A lot of what you said doesn’t make any sense, by the way, I did my best to interpret it.

Handbags at dawn.

Kevin,

Spot on. Also, with the upcoming bank debt deal, it appears that while FG won’t have been able to fulfill all their promises, they’ll have done the country a massive amount of good.

December’s budget will be tough, but I think once we get through it things going forward will start to get better.

@John are Labour not part of government aswell?told you already i’m working hard helping my country recover you’ve stated your emigrating as soon as possible so which is it are you staying or going.Make up your mind.

The reason we are ”coming out of this” is down to the tax payers getting screwed left right and centre and keeping this countries farcical finances on life support. No magic pill, no tackling of the mortgage crisis, no taking on the croke park agreement, just sit and wait.

So pleeeeeese save me from any praise from Kenny and the rest of the liars in office. They are a shambles.

Why?

Look for yield on German 3 month T bills, something around this figure, or possibly look to Denmark or any other AAA rated bond. Somewhere around these figures.

This is good news and instead you whinge and cause others to have a miserable day. Many of the naysayers on this site remind me of the louse laden beggars that blocked the pavements of eighteenth century Dublin and moaned their way to alms which were only really given because the stench of stale drink and vomit and dirt was considered a health risk.
However these were professional beggars and lived quite well for the day but contributed nothing to Society.
Remarkably consistent with the moaners here eh?

@Garry you were around in the 18th centuary?How old are you?

@Gary
Did I say it was bad news? Obviously you just like to have personal attacks on people rather than debate the issue at hand, much like our current government.
I was merely pointing out the way Government will say ANYTHING to get the result they want! Back in the lead up to the Fiscal Treaty referendum, Richard Bruton said on live RTE that surely its better having access to the ESM rather than having to be at the behest of the LOAN SHARKS in the markets!!!! Thats what he said- so bacj then, getting money from the markets was bad but today its a good thing… Merely highlighting that we cannot listen to that type of hypocracy from our politicians any longer.
Away from that, getting back into the markets is a small positive, yes.

Sounds like you are the one whinging Gary. You really need to learn some manners.
