I've noticed on this forum that a lot of Irish people seem hell bent that these cuts don't need to happen and that the government is just being mean for the sake of it. It really does seem like a lot of people are in denial of the extent of the problem. Other people seem to think that cuts are fine as long as it doesn't…

One positive point is the public have finally woken up to whats been going on, they have been lied to for years by the Gov, church, Bankers, Gardai, all the people we were forced to respect growing up.

Government - we have been lied to by Governments for decades. We've known it for almost as long. So whats new now? And who do you think put the current ones where they are now? They didn't get there by themselves.

Bankers - how did "the bankers" lie to you? As though they are all one big organisation!? Come on, give me a break from this conspiracy theory cr*p. We were all happy enough to avail of the cheap credit over the years and now we're b!tching about it because its gotten us in hot water. Talk about hypocracy!

Gardai - how have the Gardai lied to us? Far enough not everyone in the Gardai is perfect, but I challenege you to name a profession that is any different. The Gardai by and large are far better people than most putting themselves out there to look after us and this is the thanks they get?

This isn't all a big conspiracy. Take Mulder and Scully off speed-dial there please. We all had a hand in this, now stop pointing fingers and lets figure out a way out of it together.
