Itās no wonder heās so keen to open the floodgates to Muslim rapists and the likes.
Iād say if he had a choice in it he wouldnāt to be fair, but what can you do when you gave away your national sovereignty for a few roads.
Youāre suffering a bit of amnesia here yourself. Yes we had to borrow just to pay wages. Our tax take had fallen off a cliff.
Weāre arguing about the legacy of mismanagement of lenihan. They overheated the economy ridiculously and it imploded. You canāt have the chicken without the egg. If the wages were too high, who gave the rises?
Now 2 questions

2 How much did Anglo cost the state?

I think you owe the Minister for Finance an apology.
So we differ on numbers a bit but you reckon thereās no point giving out about a misspent 30 billion because we were running a deficit anyway?
Labour recently appointed David Begg to the chair of the pension board. He was on the board of the central bank when it all went tits up.

He passed the buck as usual. The man needs to be put out to pasture.Sinn fein destroy his fiscal space plan. He is a disgrace and a charlatan. Couldnāt happen to a more deserving evil fucker.
Ok, we know how you feel about him.
