I think it is a reasonably fair assessment. Some are still in denial but at least Mr Cowen has clearly outlined our hugh problem and the pain and time it will take to put us back on course. No use in blaming others.
Paddies heading for Poland?
If you think the British economy is a mess, spare a thought for the neighbours “What’s the capital of Ireland?” they ask. “Oh, about 20 euros.”
The number of foreign workers rose from 1% of the population to over 12%, sending it towards levels last seen before the potato famine............

It is scary reading and deliberately goes for shock value, starting with a high profile suicide.
Unfortunately on balance, I'm not sure that it's unfair. I think we're only approaching the end of the beginning, and we'll only have a good idea of how bad it's going to get by the end of this year.
The Sunday Times has been found out before. Google the amount of cases won against it. Without going through the article bit by bit, can I draw your attention to the story on Ryanair in page two. Twenty reasons not to use the airline. Tabloidism at it's best in a gutter journal. They did not compare Ryanair's growth to BA's downward spiral. Likewise, in the main story they did not compare like with like - Ireland's economic woes with Britain's. The scurrilous portrayal and Punch-like caricatures bestowed on Irish people over the last hundred years by this rag should not be forgotten. There is nothing slanderous in this article but it should be read with a jaundiced eye and taken with a pinch of salt.
