    What can we do? Not everyone in the country is watching this show, how is this info to be decimated and how can we get the brainless Brians and the lying incompetents in DoF to follow the recomendations made on the show tonight re negotiations?

    I think Lucey's point about Cowan and the "cheapest bailout ever" is moot at this stage.. This is the same man (Lenihan) who told us that the state would make money out of saving Anglo.... He has absolutely no credibility at this stage.

    About as much credibility as Lucey ,who is a media whore and complete bluffer
    In an analysis prepared for mortgage company Homeloan Management Limited in December 2005, Prof Lucey dismissed the notion of an unsustainable property bubble and forecast the Irish housing market would continue to grow at a “modest but still significant pace”. He also identified more scope for increased mortgage lending by financial institutions by means of subprime mortgages, 100 per cent mortgages and equity-release loans.
    The guy has no authority to talk about the banking crisis .

    EVER wondered why the pundits who failed to predict the current economic crisis are still being paid for their opinions? It's a consequence of the way human psychology works in a free market, according to a study of how people's self-confidence affects the way others respond to their advice.

    The research, by Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, shows that we prefer advice from a confident source, even to the point that we are willing to forgive a poor track record. Moore argues that in competitive situations, this can drive those offering advice to increasingly exaggerate how sure they are. And it spells bad news for scientists who try to be honest about gaps in their knowledge.

    Another person who missed the news about Brian McFadden wanting to rejoin Westlife... *shakes head*

    Can somebody explain one thing to me guys... Why are the banks only guaranteed up to 100k, and yet still the government (I assume) expect people with over 100k to keep their money in the banks without the guarantee.... Like all that money from the housing boom went SOMEWHERE.. For example, if you had 2.1 million from selling a house, would you not just move 2 million to another bank, and keep the 0.1 million (i.e. 100k) in the Irish bank???? :confused:

    I'd say half that money ended up in government coffers to pay for the illegal & unconstitutional benchmarking for public servants.

    Offer the ECB 2% interest on sovereign debt & if they don't like it we quit the EU.

    PS How come this discredited FF-led govt can negotiate debts of hundreds of billions (our children's future) on our behalf, yet they'll foist a referendum on us for any old innocuous reason?

    yeah I was thinking the same.. It's the interest rate that causes the big problem.. Roughly from what the guys were saying that would reduce the interest repayments annually to ~4/5 Billion

    Muppets - all of them. Don't think that the other parties would be any better in their (FF's) place. They all took their "King's Shilling" without a peep out of them over the years.

    Where were the patriotic politicians, economists, journalists & editors, when they were needed?

    With their noses in the trough, of course.

    Electorates usually get the politicians that they deserve.

    We can't even rely on the army to sort out this mess, as they're all political appointees.

    Actually, no there wasn't and why even mention the army in this context?? How on earth colould they sort out the economic mess? An oh, in countries where the military has taken control in the past, surely their top brass were political appointees also??

    Grounds are equality - benchmarking has enslaved the (almost but getting there) other half of society.
