Anglo Irish Bank is a problem.
And now €uro Funds are getting used
to save these banks and the mess.

[Omen]

We're screwed for a decade or more.

It's an insane amount of money,something like €66,000,000,000 they reckon, for a population of 4,000,000.

We are going to have the most savage of cuts and a very very long winter of discontent.

[Iceman]

Front headlines of the paper are "Black Thursday"

[Omen]

It's the credit-crunch, only supersized. We went mad building houses and selling them to one another. Now we've about 300,000 too many houses that aren't worth a lot.

[Omen]

Here's an indicator of how crazy it got; land in parts of Dublin was the most expensive in the world.

Ireland is just a fail, apart from Noirin what exactly have they given the world?

You are a complete idiot. If you don't know about the country and can only come up with some skank who was on a TV show dont comment.

[Shasown]

Ah well there will be a few bankers going without bonuses in Dublin next year eh?

Cutting the link to Sterling in 1979 and joining the ERM might have let them join the free money club, and Ireland did quite well out of Europe for a number of years.

But expecting that being a member of the Euro club would sustain their economy and allow them to carry on with their self perpetuated housing boom wasnt the brightest way for the banks to make money.

William Joyce (April 24, 1906 – January 3, 1946), nicknamed Lord Haw-Haw, was a fascist politician and Nazi propaganda broadcaster to the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He was hanged for treason by the British as a result of his wartime activities.

Joyce was born on Herkimer Street in Brooklyn, NY [2] to a Protestant mother and an Irish Catholic father who had taken United States citizenship. A few years after his birth the family returned to Galway, Ireland. He attended the Jesuit St Ignatius College in Galway from 1915 to 1921. Unusually for Irish Roman Catholics, both Joyce and his father were strongly Unionist

I'm sure George Bernard Shaw would have been delighted to have been mentioned alongside him.

Oh I don't know...

Shaw was a proponent of the theory of "eugenics" that believed in the improvement of the human race through selective reproduction.[69] Advocates of this theory feared society was at risk due to a declining gene pool because inferior people were breeding much more rapidly than the better ones. They advocated for public policies that would prevent this. Shaw claimed only eugenics could save mankind.[70] Shaw even suggested people should have to regularly appear before a board to justify their existence

Shaw also called for the development of a "deadly" but "humane" gas for the purpose of killing those unfit to live.



A few more famous people: Brendan Behan, Samuel Beckett, Michael Gambon, Phil Lynott, Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris..
