    are you actually for real, spend billions bailing out banks and implement savage cuts and austerity forcing hundreds of thousands to emigrate, people on the breadline trying to make ends meet,people losing their houses, record levels of unemployment carefully massaged by the government and their spin masters to make it look as if it's much lower than what it actually is, fu*k the banks, the people of this country and their welfare must be an absolute priority , that goes for every country.

    what did Iceland do, sent the bankers to jail, what did Ireland do, fuc*ing nothing, they rode off into the sunset leaving behind trail of destruction.

    Ok so you would have let the banks fail. Fine. I will ignore the massive issues this would cause, for now.

    I'll go to you being angry at the cuts. How would you have funded Ireland's massive government deficit, given the fact we were shut out of global markets and wouldnt be receiving bailout money?

    Magic money trees perhaps? Or maybe we could've been split into gangs depending on our constituencies and be sent off bank robbing in Europe?

    you are talking absolute tripe, well maybe in middle class Greystones things are flourishing but elsewhere it certainly is not.

    For the record i don't necessarily think people like Paul Murphy is the answer,much of what he says makes sense and much of what he says is rubbish, however given the opportunity id take him over the current gangsters in a heartbeat.

    Ok well I've never been outside of Greystones (except for when I grew up in that other middle class haven Tallaght) so please tell me where all this abject degradation is.

    Better in what way exactly? If Murphy was in charge this country would be like Greece- ****ed.

    In case you haven't noticed, Greece in the last quarter has shown economic growth, has a new deal with it's creditors and will be getting a writedown of it's debt in due course.
    Now, I wouldn't have Murphy anywhere near power in this country, however I would like a government who would put manners on our corrupt police force and not use it as a political tool.

    tell me again how the Anti austerity alliance bailed out banks, tell me again how they introduced water charges, tell me again how they implemented cuts after cuts after cuts, i could go on and on and on and on.

    Radical change is needed in this country...BIG TIME, otherwise you'll get the vicious political merry go around where the golden circle follow the gravy train, cronyism, jobs for the boys, corruption, lies, deceit.

    enough said.

    The above suits certain sections of our society.
    The hand that feeds cannot be bitten.

    I wonder will the coppers start any trouble during today's march?
    Hopefully not.

    Picture what Ireland would be like today if the country had let the banks fail at the time.

    Not a pretty sight.

    And the cuts were needed to reign in the massive unsustainable overspending in the budget. I'm not sure what you are whining about there.

    So, you agree with Fianna Fail and in turn Fianna Gael guaranteeing and extending the guarantee of private sector banks?

    1. The new deal was everything the socialists didn't want.
    2. In terms of growth, let's look at their GDP...

    The silent majority in this country know what's actually happening.

    That's why they aren't paying the water charge.

    If by back on track you mean the widening of the gap between the have's and have not's then yes I agree they have done a good job there.

    The real protest is the non payment. The MAJORITY of the nation aren't falling for the water scam.

    a very select criterion to apply in nudging how well the country is emerging from a crisis.

    I'd say most people have a decent idea of what the majority of 'have nots' are contributing to their own and the country's lot

    nb attending road-closing protests on a busy shopping day isnt contributing imo

    A lot of the now "have nots" were the very ones over borrowing from the banks.

    Their own fault.

    Yea, sure the banks had no responsibility in their lending practices.

    Roll up, roll up, get your 100% mortgage here and buy 2 new cars while you're at it.....pay over 50 years....

    Anyone who defends bankers careless lending, which we'll be paying back for decades, is a Gobsh1te.

    Yeah that 500 euro loan from AIB for a new clutch in the 98 Mondeo really is the reason the country is in the dumps not the billions Fitz and the rest gambled with.

    Weren't the anti-eviction groups rallying around an old couple who had about a dozen properties across Dublin and were being evicted from their Killiney mansion to pay the bills?
