Dead right, sick and tired of all the pessimism, alot for the sake of People’s own political beliefs nothing to do with the betterment of the country. Things are finally looking up, time for people to look up aswell.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Kenny will find something to help rule it out over the rest of the week. It’s only Monday.

And Tommy English, we are trying to better the country, not lie down and taking what is destroying it. And it will be along time till we can look up. It is tiny compared what is needed to get the country back on it’s feet, and if we don’t fight for it, it will never come, with this, or any other goverment.

Spot on, Tommy

Just need to keep this creation up.

And if you act like a mug and let the powers that be make you think your happy, whilst ripping you off, they will.
Retrain for IT, sounds like Thatcher’s Brtian all over again.

The people of Ireland have alot to do to pull this round, and happiness and retraining for IT isn’t going to get them far.

As Cairo said, “I’m a realist, not a pessimist.”

“And if you act like a mug and let the powers that be make you think your happy, whilst ripping you off, they will.”

This has nothing to do with my happiness. I’m happy because I have a great job, great family, a great girlfriend, and great health! No muginess here, just a happy camper.

You’re right, we Irish have a lot to do as a country. However, if I am given the option of moaning about it, or doing something about it, I’d do somethign about it any day of the week.

2.5 years ago, I was unemployed for 6 months. Hardest time of my life, and I had to put a Domino’s uniform on every day, and deliver Pizza to people that I used to manage in work, and had to swallow my pride.

However, I was still very happy, for all of the aforementioned reasons.

You my friend, are the muggy one.

I am no muugy one or mug.

If you wish to lead your life the way you do, with a no future job, that’s you choice, but don’t dare point your finger at those who want the best for the country, people and themselves.

And if it comes to moaning or doing, if you think what you are doing any day, well your not.

Daniel any chance that any of these announcements are in the Limerick area? We need something badly, missed out big time on Paypal last week!

I work for an executive search firm and I couldn’t agree more – the only people earning real money in EMEA are IT professionals working for, as you said, Oracle, SAP, Tibco, IBM. Enterprise software sales, 5 yrs exp, €80k base min.

Most other counties in the world have property tax…..

In Cyprus where I am from, people pay certain amount of property tax for their immovable properties they have (house, farm, field etc) annually and this amount is definitely more than €100 pa for an ordinary house with a small garden. I used to pay around €100-150 per month for water bill to the city council… It’s pretty much the same for other countries in the world. so what’s the problem with the house charge and paying for the water that you used??

To true Ciaro,

And Lisa, yes other countries do have proerty taxs, granted, but they are not used for paying shareholders in a bankrupt bank. They are used for services, road repair, education, etc, good for the area and community, NOT BANKERS.
