Will they do a press conference….Vincent Browne is waiting for answers…!!!

Where is Hogan these days? Must have been locked up again…

“Well done enda, here’s an extra star. No homework for the weekend” said the troika as they patted him on the head.

Why do people follow the comedy that is called politics in this country?

” The policy instruments used to achieve the target were tax increases and cuts in capital expenditure. The tax
increases proved counter-productive, discouraging investment, distorting the labour market and encouraging vast levels of tax evasion and avoidance. The capital expenditure cuts did not enter into the calculation of the CBD. The result was that while the government managed to reduce the Exchequer Borrowing Requirement
(EBR) to GDP ratio, the CBD/GDP and public debt/GDP continued to increase until 1986. The Prime Minister of the time, Garret FitzGerald, now accepts that his government’s choice of the current budget deficit as the target for fiscal policy was ill advised and it would have been better to target the EBR (FitzGerald, 1995)”

Exactly 30 years after FG/Labour failed attempt at a fiscal correction, they have managed to do the same again.
Clearly, they are not capable of competent fiscal or economic governance.
