Outside of the bank bailout does the fact that as a nation we were living way beyond our means have anything to do with it?

If democracy worked you wouldn't be allowed vote.
Seeing Moore Mc guffawing when it was suggested by an audience member that public service pay be capped at 100k was his Pee-Wee Flynn moment. Yabba-Dabba-Do, taxpayers! |

Well Tolmi if you did, as the late Minister Lenihan said ("we All partied Miriam"), some of us didn't you know,.............. I didn't buy a 4x4 nor did I buy the Apt in Bulgaria............ yet I pay now to keep the likes of Ambomovich cozy in his yacht, and pay John Terry's big wages pay John Brutons big pension and he with a big paying job ......................pay alan dukes to shut a bust bank and pay him a huge pension as well........

same old 5hit from all sectors. Single mothers moaning how they don't want allowances cut, politicians like Harney saying they've taken enough cuts.......Society? doesn't exist. Just total selfishness and self service from one and all

You might note that I said as a nation.Whether people individually realise it or not we were all beneficiaries of the economic madness of Ahern Mc Creevy Cowen et al.Even if the banks did not collapse we would still be facing a massive and unsustainable current budget defecit which would still have resulted in a period of austerity.

despite being bankrupt we still have one of the most generous welfare and public sector pay in europe. we are paying 28.50 euro an hour on average to public servants and we have politicians begging german tax payers to keep paying it. you couldn't make it up.

You couldn't make it up as right.......Huge construction wages being paid by lads who walked away owing a fortune.......A builder near me telling local suppliers he can't pay them he is gone into liquidation and facing bankruptcy.........the chap could barely write his name......then bragging in the pub to the local gombeen man that he was that big he is now in NAMA....The new badge of honour.
