So you’re saying we’re being robbed?!
Until we get up of our backsides and do something, this will only get worse. Enda thinks that because we don’t protest and complain that the Irish people are right behind him. I mean,look at how much money we’re handing over to AIB bond holders today, for exampl!. It’s scandalous.
Boycott and burn !
80,000 ‘quality Irish’ people reported to have emigrated last year. And the rest of the Irish? Mostly silent. The saddest fact of all.
So disposable income has decreased for Irish households..
1 billion being paid out to bond holders today..
Micheal Noonan to announce value based property tax in the budget!!!
What Planet is the government living on??
Do you actually think Micko and Inda really care about Joe Citizen. Not one bit and with good ‘ol Eamo in tow now sure they can do what they like to us. So long as the Brussle Sprouts keep patting Inda on the head he will do their dirty work by robbing the Irish people. I have a feeling he will be scraping the barrel shortly with the amount of people that have emigrated the only ones left working are the civil and public service and they are not going to produce anything. I hope Australia has room for a couple of hundred thousand more because this place will be a wilderness by 2018
Cold comfort.
