Your finance Minister Noonan unbelievably owns German Bonds.

http://irishtimes.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx

It makes me so angry to see him cut funding to hospitals & hospices while attending meetings with his German banker friends yesterday promising them that Irish people will continue to suffer so they can be paid. He even got a standing ovation before returning back at his 5 star hotel. In case you Irish people forget, let me remind you of something…

These Traitors are not truly Irish and do not represent you
These Traitors do not care about you, only their pensions and future careers in Europe
These Traitors are paid by you, you employ them!!!!
These Traitors do what they do because they know they can. They know the easy going character of the present Irish generations.
These Traitors are LIARS, THIEVES, They are giving away your future to their Elite friends

Stand up, if not for yourselves, for the future of your children. It is your Ireland, it is your country, it is your people, it is your future!!!

Take your country back, please!

Watch as these clowns talk their talk and feed their egos. Noonan and Howlin led by the nose… :-(

Watch and laugh as they try to justify their traitorous behaviour. It is too late for European leaders to try and tame the Markets after being bankrolled by them for years.

They could do what any normal courageous person would do. We’d tell the money lenders to feic off – that half our family were idiots and needed to be educated. That all our children needed an education too to prevent them growing up to be idiots like half of their parents.

That our aged needed care and to be looked after with a bit of dignity. That our sick needed to be made well in my hospitals not left hanging about dying on trolleys.

That those looking after the future generations of my country deserved a roof over their heads without bankers, (who btw charged them for the privilege of valuing their property but have since scrapped those valuations) trying to kick them out.

That we were going to make sure we’d live within my budget and were going to have to squeeze the greedy that were sitting on their inherited dosh cos all our kids were entitled to a decent standard of living.

That we was going to sort out my government so that those representing our people realised they were representing them and hadn’t won first prize in a popularity contest!

And that we’d get back to them when my country had grown a moral backbone!!! And that wouldn’t really take that long cos overall, once the moneylenders stop scaring the shit out of them, they’re great and I love them!

Gilmore asks SF to put on the green jersey ….. Gilmore and his wife managed to covet 500k from the tax-payers in the sale of a plot of land worth nothing over 30k…. If he could put on his green jersey for a minute and give us back our money, i would have some respect for him … I would have even more, if he and his treacherous cohorts who are paying themselves traitorous pay-levels as ministers, along with expenses without receipts, would take the average industrial wage during this time of crises, in order to show solidarity with the average person in this country, then i would have a lot more respect for them …. Then, while on the average wage, if they decided to introduce new taxes, or increase existing taxes, i would at least be comforted in teh knowledge, that they understand what it means to their normal living expenses …. But NO, these traitors dont give two fiddlers about anyone except themselves and the elite in this country ….. Shame on them… Next time out, we will show our green jersey mind-set, by giving SF number one preferences across the country …. Labour will NEVER get into power again.

And they will not sell our state assets. They are not theirs to sell. They are ours. They forget that people and energy cannot be bought. The power is Us. Do not believe the fear mongering. Try to laugh instead. :-) You can’t feel fear while laughing.

Finland to withdraw funding if voting rights are abandoned.

“It’s not being driven by unemployment at home, it’s being driven by a desire to see another part of the world and live there.”

This is our Finance Minister, about emigration.

Picked up on howlin statement “the three institutions are permanently here”
Bad use of language or the games up and the boys will be here for ever ?
Probably off to Patrick gibeau for lunch to discuss how well noonans german bonds are doing.
Gold stars and no homework for a week.
Oh and whisper across dealing room this morning Aer lingus deal done shares up 4 to 70 cent eithead the buyers guarantee given to commence and use Dublin as link to u s s from middle east
Fill your boots

Thought I’d never say it but sine fein are next in line to try and sort this mess….my god, what a shambles!!!!!

His emigration comment shows how quickly politicians and in particular govt ministers lose all sense of how the country feels. Not quite as bad as Charlie, Bertie et al but getting there.

How many journalist did RTÉ need there today?

they can have their moment….because when this governnent falls …these boys wont be in the shakeup but im sure they will never be broke or living from month to month…pair of Liars and hypicrites

Clowns
Traitors
Treacherous
Liars
Thieves
These are the words used in the foregoing commentaries and are reflective of sheer ignorance as well as political leanings of a well known and bankrupt philosophy.
I would urge Minister Noonan and Howlin to sue the writers and publishers for serious defamation as none of the above qualifies for anything resembling debate. Indeed it is the written version of street thuggery that occurs in unlit sections of some city centres.
Interesting to note that only a minority of contributors use anything resembling a real name. That would take some courage but in this case there is nothing but vulgar and cowardly behaviour.

Why aren’t they using the money they get from the troika and going out an investing it in the stock market by short term hedging this moneys we can make a bit on the side… True capitalism at work. So did any of the Irish journos ask how many jobs they will be helping to create this year or is it another year of cuts and shuts.
