It could be like 2004 all over again!

442

Will they be looking for an electronics admin this time I wonder.

443

all credit to the dept of finance for their latest funding initiative for SME’s, taking VAT and P30 payments a week late will be invaluable to businesses up and down the country

I think it’s generally acknowledged that we largely built in the wrong place. Hotels, City centre high quality offices and housing is in demand in Dublin. Just not down the country.

We are back baby :pint::pint::pint::pint:

447

As an aside anyone know where about on Camden street this is? I assume it’s opposite the Camden Court/Bleeding Horse area, but the chapel reference has me thrown.

The recession is ooooooooooover, why don’t you go home?
Why don’t you go hooooooooooome?

Were you an electronics admin there @mickee321 ? :eek:

Isn’t there a chapel on the next road over (the opposite direction to Harcourt Street)? Possibly near that school. Or do they mean the chapel Con Houlihan had his funeral in on the start of the SCR?

I suspect the drop is roughly the same as the emigration rate. In addition, the criterion by which they judge whether a person is " in work" apparently is whether they have worked for an hour or more in the past 2 weeks. Many decent people would be too embarrassed to answer in the negative I’d imagine. I can’t understand the triumph with which further borrowing is greeted. More debt:-(

454

Agree. That and they don’t count people on job bridge schemes or training schemes. They also take no account of people involuntarily working part time.

455

Shur aren’t you coming home soon too, mate? That was unthinkable a few years ago cos there was nothing to come back to. Thousands of jobs being added every month, the property boom is starting to heat up nicely, @glasagusban[/USER] might have a job lined up in Dublin soon, @[USER=273]caoimhaoin is coming home at the end of the summer. The recession is over-we did it!:):pint:

456

Go take a shower, you reek of positivity. :rolleyes:

457

The recession will be offiicially over when @The Wild Colonial Bhoy goes home (to his Irish home that is, not the Serbian / Russian / Italian ones).
Others may already have given up on living the dream and gone home already…

Is he not already gone?

I don’t believe so.

Oh right, the timing of his posts suggested he was. Maybe I was reading it wrong.
