Lenihan: Ireland to apply for rescue package

Game over

It is not game over - there is no need for such a conclusion. In short, the adults are now in charge and that is not a bad thing. We need to take this deal and then get on with it - enough chattering ad nauseum.

WhatIf

You mean the IMF and their EU counterparts are now in charge of course it is not a bad thing. At least we have a competant foreign delegation on our soil doing what needs to be done because our government was incapable of doing anything apart from trying to pull the wool over Irish people's eyes.

+1 with what Marietta has posted.

This is not the worst that could have happened to us.
The boom and the Banks' perfidy and incompetence could have persisted.
They could have ended up owing so much that the position would be totally untenable.

Its looking at this point in time as if we can just about - with Europe and the IMF - hold it together and recover.
Ireland's Debt at 64% of GDP is not the issue here, it is our budget deficit at 14%, which is the worst in Europe.
Our unequalled boom in property terms masked the gross inefficiencies and overpayments in the public sector.

Harney has backpedaled suggesting the public sector pay was mistakenly compared to private sector pay instead of public sector pay abroad.
I would argue that this is the same private sector in the banking world that has royally messed with our economy.

Such comparisons are invidious - you pay what you can afford - there is no written law that says you get competence if you pay more.
Just look at the fools who ran the Irish banks and our government if you need proof positive of that.

ONQ.
 
Who elected "the kids" And dont use the old German excuse "we didn't know what was happening"

We have plenty examples of incompetence from all political parties as well as glorifying selfish independents starting with Tony Gregory and joined by Healy Rae etc
 
Well, it's been on the Sky news at 8pm that ireland has formally applied for a bailout

Ireland RIP.
 
Amazingly, we had to rely on foreign channels; RTE showed a small part, then cut the feed when Vincent Brown started asking questions. An absolute disgrace.

It cannot be allowed to happen -- He has to take responsibility .

Lenihan seems to be a more believable politician .

Too much censorship going on here, if you say anything against the establishment your comments get deleted.

Lenihan & Co have lied to the people all week, the quicker he resigns all the better. We were kept in the dark for long enough by the fianna fail brigade, time to get real.
