And due to what New Labour set up
the UK is trapped in a deal which means we also have to pay around 8 Billion into Eire,
if the nation sinks into a bog.

Ghost estates and broken lives: the human cost of the Irish crash

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...h-2136104.html

We are still waiting for Eire to ask for help.

Going to be another while before that happens, our Taoiseach only just confirmed that we are in talks about it, he's an idiot, he has well and truly ruined Ireland for the next decade at the least, i'm off out of here early next year and probably would never live here again.

CNN Business Hour, just on
had a reporter in Dublin.

One place feeds everyone who comes to it,
some can not afford a meal so more than usual go there.

Then he went to a nice coffee bar
which paints a smile on every coffee
for its customers.

Nice article, good read.

"Gas valued at €420 billion off the west coast of Ireland, while Fianna Fáil speeds us towards the IMF
By:
Conor McCabe - Dublin Opinion

Just a quick post to highlight the Shell to Sea factsheet, that there is €420 billion worth of natural gas of the coast of Ireland - all of which has been given for free to Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil, Exxon Mobil."



Yes Ice
that is wrong.

What a bullsh*t statement.

Ireland is 10 times better than countries like America,

Yes it doesn't have the big cities, the massive movies, the epic Real World etc

But it's got far friendlier people and a better atmosphere than places like London, LA, Iraq and I was going to say Australia but Idk about them.

Tbh, I'd rather live in a place like that than somewhere were everyone is busy and bitter all the time, I haven't been to London but I heard it's pretty much like that.

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

Bitches, leave Ireland alone.

Don't make me release the leprechauns. :nono:

But seriously its like Ireland's up sh!t creek without a paddle :conf2:

ive never been to ireland

It's great the country is in an economic meltdown and tey I still know people who go out on the piss everyday.......

No we have the paddle we'd just rather smack each other with it rather then get out of what mess we're in.

My Uncle lives over in the Republic, his father (so my Grandfather) was Irish and he always loved the country so moved over there 10 years or so ago. I think he's well-off enough to cope, doesnt stop him going off on one about how useless the Irish Prime Minister is whenever I see him :laugh:

He is though, he's like a block of cheese, he does nothing and smells.

Anywho I decided I'm leaving in March to go to Canada, booked an appointment about a Visa for 2 weeks time, hope to get confirmation before or just after xmas.

My Mum said they call it the gay capital of Europe. And I must admit, there are plenty of gay guys over there. LOL.

*Awaits an ott response from Simon...*

Very true, every man for himself! :laugh:

Irish government finally admits it
needs bail-out worth billions to shore up economy and save it ruined banks

It's Official Greens To Pull Out Of Governement In January



The Greens have called time on the Government - and say an election should be held in January.

The party says it wants to pass a budget and negotiate the loans with the I-M-F, but that the Taoiseach must immediately set the date for polling day.

Meanwhile, Longford Westmeath Fianna Fail TD Mary O'Rourke wants a vote on the Party's leadership in January.

Earlier today Cork's Noel O'Flynn called for the Taoiseach to resign saying he felt betrayed and humiliated by the events of the last few weeks.

Deputy O'Rourke says the future of Fianna Fail also needs to be discussed.

Elsewhere, opposition parties say the move by the Greens is too little too late.

The Labour Party say it appears the Green Party have had a "death bed conversion".

While Sinn Féin has accused the party of denying the people of Ireland an immediate an election.

Thank God, those ******ers should not only be kicked out of government but they should also be charged for ruining the country. They should all be fully investigated imo

I'll be here to vote so I dont mind but I'm gone in march (If I get my visa), so I dont know how i'll vote.

"The Greens have called time on the Government - and say an election should be held in January."

Yes but That (the greens section) is a Small part of the Government
so they may not agree.

I don't blame you for getting out, I would too if I didn't have the kids. The next problem is who to vote for. I reckon Sinn Fein and some independents would be best for a new government but that will never happen. Fine Gael are as bad as Fianna Fáil

It's a start though and the opposition will have a field day with it

naughty ireland

It gets the ball rolling though, every person in this country will back an election and i'd go as far to say it would have the biggest turn out in Irish history.

I cant wait for Fianna Fáil to come and start looking for votes, im gonna have a cup of ice cold water ready to throw at them.....wankers

haha, I bet they don't even bother tbh!

You know your probably right, I dont see them wanting to get abused at every house.

But because i'm in North Dublin, good old Brian Cowen will come here so its an opportunity not to be missed ;)

there's not a chance in hell that he'll be going door to door, I can almost guarantee that!! If he does though throw some cheese at him for me:joker:

But they still can hold back.


We had the same with Brown.

Labour all the way, bitches.

Good to hear from you Stu.

I am going to include you in a new animation TIBB news
Dezzys thread and on here for a laugh in these hard times
also on Chat and Games

I might just scream at him to get of my property and ring the gardaí

Awesome. I love being included in animation.

Seriously though, fellow countrymen, what I want to know are who are the 17% in public opinion polls who still back Fianna Fail? These are dangerous people and ought to be rounded up like cattle and disposed of in a humane manner.

The sort of people who back a political party like a football team and back them up no matter what. I mean ... have they got televisions? Do they read the newspapers?

They're all the fat cats, bankers and developers I'd imagine!

I was having this conversation with my Dad and he seems to think it may be older people who are stubborn and dont want change, who are fed the crap they are given like a hot dinner. Crazy old people.
