Prepare to welcome your new IMF overlords

Bullshit on Bertie. The collapse of Lehman Bank caused all the damage. I even saw an interview where Bertie confirmed this.

Saw a guy manhandled away by the Guards. Heard there was another guy rolled over alright. If this guy dies, it could be a Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo moment.

you have a labour party led by ex democratic left people

Was that a good gig?

so all you are doing is attacking JB then

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

What?

You said that Bruton was a good Taoiseach and I disputed it.

Of course, that’s what I was getting at.

:lol:

There has been a lot of focus on worst-case scenarios for
Ireland, but what does the ‘best-case scenario’ look like?
With the backstop provided by a EU/IMF support plan,
the situation in Ireland could stabilise fairly quickly.
There are three (potentially positive) event risks before
the end of the year: first, we expect the budget to be
passed (after a lot of brinkmanship); second, the
budgetary data have improved steadily in recent months,
to the extent that the government may end up revising
down its estimate of the 2010 deficit; third, the initial
signs are that Q3 GDP may be quite strong—industrial
production rose 11.1%qoq annualised in Q3 and the trade
balance has improved significantly

Decent panel for Vinny apart from the Unite guy who may be a touch lightweight.

Fitzgerald should be interesting given his support for government economic policy recently.

garett fitzgerald- was giving bank bail outs in the 80’s ffs

Good to see an Irish/Celtic fan among the protestors.

& his experiences in bailing out banks & how he is linked to estate agents have shaped his views recently

Well said TASE, a reasoned and original post.
