I heard on the radio ( RTE ) about a month ago a list of all the luxury food + drink imported in to Zimbabwe for Mugabes party ( his birthday or something like that ), while half his country is starving. T'is what McAleese, and all our govt would have at Xmas put together. It was mind boggling. Given our p.m. ( ok -- taoiseach ! lol ) pays himself more than the president of USA, Germany, France etc...now we know who Mugabe has as a role model.
One day...when nobody wants to lend us the 25 billion we are borrowing this year...or can justify lending us that amount...we may be lucky enough to go the way of Zimbabwe. Not very likely ? Well if someone said 18 months ago the ISEQ would lose over 75% of its capitalisation would you have considered that likely then ?
