Poll: Does today's bailout exit make you feel any better?

Thought we’d ask.

IRELAND OFFICIALLY exits its EU/IMF bailout today – and even our Finance Minister is cagey about how much difference that will make to your life come tomorrow.

We, the people, were called heroes for taking the brunt of the austerity programme.

So does the symbolic nature of today’s exit actually make you feel any better? At all?


Poll Results:

C. Hearing about it makes me feel worse (2191)
B. Makes not the slightest difference to me (1639)
A. Yes, I'm happier today (290)

    Congratulations to the bar owner for taking action. A manager’s responsibility is to control the stock and manage the staff. If it turns out that the manager is unable to control staff whom he is blaming for the stock loss, then what else was the owner expected to do?

    It’s ridiculous that the bar manager was even allowed to appeal this black and white case.

    Well Done to Liam Fahey. He has the right to protect his business from closing. Over €750 at cost each week. The publican would have to generate another €2250 in sales a week just to cover that loss.

    With unemployment at an all time low, it is shocking to think that with the theft at that level, the owner could afford to employ another 4 people for 20 hours each per week at €8.65. Bar Owners- watch your bottom line!

    Good comment Barry re appealing the case…madness..
