Even still, that's €29 for four rounds of a pint and a coke, or €7.25. Assuming €5.00 for the pint (which is dear enough in any case), it's a staggering €2.25 for the coke. Madness.

Rip off Ireland (or should that be RIP Ireland) alive and well then. It is sad to think that after a weeks work a night out is too much to ask for now. And Noonan wants us to go out and spend you really have to ask what planet do these guys live on - or is it that on their salary and perks they just have not noticed the recession?

Bank Debt Deal for Ireland Now in Doubt.
RTE are reporting that a Bank deal for Ireland is now in doubt, after noises coming out of Germany, Holland and Finland, who only want the new mechanisms being put in place used for current problems ie: Italy and Spain and not legacy assests (ie: Anglo/Ireland)

So much for Noonan's seismic shift. Though in fairness why would they do a deal with us seeing as we are willing or at least the political classes are willing to pay it all back.

WTF....!!!!!
- 30 or so lines of text wiped again there. Is this thread f**ked up again?
Gone...
As I have said before I am not a financial guy but from what I can see we really have to leave the Euro and the sooner the better. It is a case of everyone for themselves and Germany (and Holland and Finland et al) only care that their banks are fully repaid any money lent to previously private Irish banks. Thats fine the German governments responsibility is to their people, our governments responsibility seems to be the same i.e. making sure the German people are ok. It should be looking out for irish interests. Our economy is goosed and if what valencia says comes to pass (8 more austere budgets) the 1950's will look like a golden age.
Lets bring it all to a head and just say f**k the lot of you we are leaving the Euro and loans already received from the ECB swing for them. Of course that will mean not another cent will be lent from Europe but at least it would be the beginning of the end. This death by a thousand cuts is too much kill us with one at least that is humane.

I forgot the carpark ticket which is now a flat rate overnight and that was 6 euro. So in all it was 46 euro and 7 OR 8 euro bottle of wine for king neighbour babysitter. There is also the ulterior motive involved in this "go to the pub to watch it" saga. It gives me solid ground for arguing the price of Sky sports subscription. Me thinks its time for a poor mouth phonecall to NTL. :-)
edit: Great reminder there to myself and just got off the phone from those nice people in UPC and have reduced my bill from 105 to 81 with the loyalty department. They discounted Sky Sports, the broadband, telly and phone. Worth the call folks. Of course it is another 12 month contract but that is fine by me.

Ireland: Still Paying
Dublin continues to pay off the bondholders of its commercial banks.
It's been two years since Ireland forked over €45 billion to the private creditors of its largest banks. The bank bailout drove Ireland's deficit to 32% of GDP and played no small role in forcing Dublin to take a bailout of its own from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
But many of the beneficiaries of that bank bailout were themselves privately owned financial institutions in Germany, France and elsewhere in the EU. The late Brian Lenihan, then Ireland's Finance Minister, later ...

Buy buy buy!
Said it before, will say it again, EU commissariat either haven't a clue or are being cynical in their behaviour. The enforced divestment they pushed on UK banks as part of the bail out has resulted in a ****e bank (Santander), from a more financially screwed country (Spain), getting a much bigger hold in the UK market. That should not have been allowed. If Spain hits a point where Santander collapses UK citizens could easily get hit a second time - and bearing in mind the back tracking on agreements etc no amount of technically the UK arm is a separate entity would change that. If the parent company is dead in the water then the subsids and arms will be as well. That's why functioning parts of RBS are technically screwed as well as the main areas that went tits up.

So says the shyst*r with the biggest lot of property ever assembled in a property fire-sale that he has to get rid of....
He quotes (not indicated in that article...) that mortgages are up; he doesn't give the number of transactions, nor does he comment on the fact that most properties that do get sold these days are cash transactions. Banks aren't lending and there is way too much uncertainty in the jobs market (actually there is no jobs market..). There is also a glut of property out there - that's McDonagh's real problem.
Now for the lies, damn*d lies, yes here's the statistics: http://www.cso.ie/en/media/csoie/rel...pi_aug2012.pdf
For those who have looked at the figures - the annual rate of decline of house prices in July was -14.4%, by August 'twas only -11.8%. Now August (& April) are 2 months that property does (or used to..) move. Still well over 50% (over 60% for Dubland flats...) down on the 'peak'. Just not dropping as fast as previously; or Bertie might put it as a slighter softer landing than we've been enduring of late......
There is a full-on assault by the media this weekend to push the "buy property" agenda, with the DoF complicit.
...and Mr. Crow comes on for Mr. Magpie.
Jaysus that was some soft landing

Time to roll out Dan McLaughlin, close your eyes, and its 2006 again!
PS
They may be right, although I think Dublin has another 6 months to go.
“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”
With nearly 15% unemployment, less and less disposable income and property tax to come on top of another austerity budget its hard to see any real increase.

If we had the same rules as Spain (e.g. former self employed...) and didn't have the release of emigration our unemployment rate would now be up to/over 25%. There are desperate plays going on right now, but the real tragedy is that our 'government' doesn't seem to give a sh*te about the state of the peasants.
Yes it's a good time to buy, but offer 50% and pay cash (if you have it...). In short prices still falling despite the PR jobs....
