Ireland is really really sick. We can afford to pay Grant Thornton fees of 1.7 million, we can seemingly pay off the AIB's debts so it is effectively state owned and the staff who brought that bank to it's knees are to be paid up to 10 weeks extra leave, but we cut home carer's allowance, prevent people having operations on time, destroy their lives, if in power hire family members, award pay rises in the semi states, threaten strike action at the very mention of a slight change in work practice in well paid jobs in the old national airline, part state owned, we can threaten to cut the extra Sunday pay for the lowest pay workers and it's all tickedy boo.
Ireland is so fundamentally rotton, uncaring and hateful to it's citizens.
Not one person has been charged, never mind brought to court or convicted of any crime. The accountants and lawyers with the nod of the political class are straddled over the carcas of collapsed Irish business eating it's very young, devouring every last morsal with relish, ensuring that they will get richer, dropping intelligent sound bites of how we need cuts while they insulate themselves and legally put the bill on those with nothing and those with nothing who will have even less. We might as well have Gadaffi here, at least he's honest, he's going to kill every man woman and child who opposes him. They're doing that in Ireland, but they don't call it genocide here or rape or pillage. But it surely is the same thing. Just slower. Is there not one person to stop this madness.
