Not the best for the state to own the bank but I wouldn’t have been in any rush myself

Agreed,

They should have held out a bit longer though in my opinion at least 6-12 months.

That share price is only going to go up in the medium term.

Interesting that the new economic measure GNI has shown better growth versus the GDP figures. The misery crew coming in laughing about Leperchaun Economics have been very quiet over it.

Some of the poverty industry and lefty head bangers are in ruins after these stats emerged.

Ireland’s tax take is above the OECD average as a % of GNI, some years well above. i.e. Ireland taxes quite a bit. It is without question that Ireland has one of the most progressive tax systems in the world.

So who is paying this tax above OECD averages? Could it be the better off?? :open_mouth:

Have we been sold a pup, mate?

Not at all mate, Mickey Noonan was so successful in turning the place around that they can’t even measure it.

It’s all a mirage.

Already posted and it’s great news. It shows our growth has been better than GDP suggested and that we are high tax and spend country in the OECD.

Isn’t it great the way big bankers and the elite have created this fascination with markets and retarded terminology that allows them manipulate and control people through fear when it’s all a load of fucking bollox. You’ve lads then re-hashing this nonsense like it really means something.

1521

But isn’t that Irish way, a decade ago we were all savvy property investors. :slight_smile:

1522

Political hipsters.

1523

15 per cent unemployment meant something.

We’re back

In time we won’t be and you communists can have your day. For now it is our day.

We were sold a pup - the ‘commie’ trade unionists were really capitalists in disguise.

The decline in the rate of nationals vs non nationals on the live register is quite telling.
