Conspiracy theorist and part-time lunatic Jim Corr speaks way more sense there than every member of Fianna Fail put together could muster in a decade, and Fine Gael and Labour too for that matter.

These middle of the road “consensus politics” fools haven’t a clue and anybody who votes for them deserves what they get.

Eamon Ryan on the radio there in reaction to the 6.7% IMF rate “We shouldn’t get too hung up about figures at the moment”. What fucking planet is this guy on? We’ll be pretty hung up paying back 10 billion plus a year. You can get car finance a full percentage cheaper than that. This country is fucked.

Does the deal have to go before the Dail? Who is actually negogiating on our behalf?

DOF and NTMA heads and Colm fucking McCarthy :rolleyes:

No Dáil vote as far as I know.

He’s probably asking them to push the rate higher.

It’s a bit ridiculous that , after the Treaty, this is probably the most significant deal ever concluded by an Irish government yet it won’t come before the house.

Still aiming to finalise it tomorrow, according to the news. Conference call with Euro zone finance ministers is scheduled for 4pm tomorrow. It’s important for the markets that it’s agreed ahead of Monday opening apparently.

AFAIK

John Corrigan - NTMA
Patrick Honohan
Matthew Elderfield

Presume that Kevin Cardiff guy is involved too at some level as well as Comical Lenny.

Despite the lack of high jinx today I hope and expect there will be some outside the Department of Finace tomorrow.

Acquire fire arms and shoot these cunts down. That is my message to all cadres.

Is there any chance Bono could bail us out?

Politics.ie is saying that the IMF have left the building. The building meaning Ireland Obviously.

Farewell IMF. Gone like a holiday romance. Gone.

Gone as in the deal is done and they are off home to celebrate the purchase of another small state.

Or gone as in those Irish lads are totally fucked I’m not wasting a penny on them.

The building means Dublin Airport. The method of escape a private jet. But unlike most holiday romances we’ll see them again every three months when they come back for their money.

Pat Rabbite said on the News at 1 that the Government has already squandered the National Pension Reserve Fund!

I didn’t really get the jist of what he was saying but it was something to do with derivatives and securities against the Bank losses. I think the Government tried to use the money as security against bank losses but lost out spectacularly. This has potential to be huge if true.

Yeah I heard that. Anything to with derivatives sounds like seriously bad news. You get the feeling that there’s yet another giant pile of shit lurking there in the background.

This may indeed be huge but will not be in the least surprising, it’s to expected from these idiots.

rabbite is talking out of his hole - these derivitaves werent hedges, they were options on eurobor futures which are looking pretty good- once again rabbite exposed as a clown :lol:

Don’t think there’s anywhere near enough information to justify the hysteria just yet. Understandable that people are assuming the worst, particularly as Lenihan will not tell anyone the truth regardless of what’s happening.

What’s a derivative, mate?
