Ireland's Economic Meltdown

[UnknownOconnor]

Time to cut benefits and social housing.

[Pedrofrombrazil]

How is the irish economy now?

[monkeyman80100]

here is a real solution from the people of ireland,start a group call it whatever,everyone joins this group via facebook,twitter etc etc.. when we get massive numbers, we do things to make our government listen.. for e.g.. if the head of ESB doesnt take a paycut by a deadline date,all members leave ESB & switch to airtricity or whoever(i know ESB own the grid lines but this will cripple them),for a designated month,all group members dont pay their mortgage,this will cripple them.

[TheSheeplealarmclock]

Only solution for ireland now is to nuke it.

[waaeaa]

25% OF RAPE SUSPECTS IN IRELAND ARE IMMIGRANTS

Files with the Director of Public Prosecutions show 25% of suspects are immigrants.

African men are 10 times more likely to be accused of Rape. East Europeans are 7 times more likely.

A disporportionate amount of Africans and East European men are accused of rape.

1 in every 10 rape allegations were made against a combination of these 2 groups.

Foreign nationals are also more likely to be prosecuted by the DPP.

Ireland moving away from Britain, haha worst mistake ever, idiots just wanted an excuse for a civil war.

[UnknownOconnor]

@SugaaarRush Haha, that would explain how all your ''great british'' companies are moving over here to take advantage of our low corporation tax...... At the end of the day, we repelled the most powerful army in the world (britain) from our land. One has to admire the Irish for that. Yes, 6 counties remain annexed but even so, not without a fight. A run for your money back to limeyland.

[SugaaarRush]

@UnknownOconnor All of our companies? Name some? And low tax? You need low tax, you can't afford it high otherwise ud all fucking starve. Also, Great Britain werent after fucking Ireland you fucking retard, Ireland was split with indipendance and the Northern tip wanted to remain with Britain. So we gave you the rest of Ireland and made Northern Ireland, You guys wanted Northern Ireland back. And guess what, you didn't get it haha, you couldnt get it. Get educated bud.

[UnknownOconnor]

@SugaaarRushShitHead Wrong you dumbfuck. Our 6 counties were planted with your settlers who stole our land hence their desire to keep the defacto union with limeyland. So don't try and re-invent things, history mutator. The IRA still gave you long-term financial misery you never forgot. Oh, and they'd do it again because our 45 million Irish Americans could easily fund them! Unionist population is diminishing faster. Then again, Scotland is another country yet to part from the U'kay.

[SugaaarRush]

@UnknownOconnor Who stole your land? You mean when Ireland was part of Britain then in the 1920's became independent as the Northern tip of Ireland wanted to remain part of Britain, we gave you a majority of Ireland because its a fucking democracy. Then scumbag terrorists who threatened innocent children and women with bombs, uneducated people who thought that fighting for Ireland was gonna do something, where was your country in the 70's, i know here in Scotland we were pretty happy.

[SugaaarRush]

@UnknownOconnor Then you realise after the war, ok we fucked up, we have no ivnvestors no nothing the only people wanting to help us were the people selling us guns and ammunition. Your economys down the shitter, the big companies moving to Ireland for taxes, is solely for the taxes, they don't care for Ireland. Face it moving away from the UK was the biggest mistake Irelands ever made.

[UnknownOconnor]

@SugaaarRush I do give you credit for the humor component of your messages even though you are an asshole in the end. Now take your toilet culture and get to work cleaning up that Oil spill which keeps growing and growing and growing...

[UnknownOconnor]

@SugaaarRush And the next time any (british) companies like UBM, Henderson Group, U.K.-based Northern Foods, etc decide to come over here taking advantage of our low taxes, we'll tell you to scram.

[SugaaarRush]

@UnknownOconnor You know im right, Irelands down the shitter, enjoy independence while it lasts.

[UnknownOconnor]

@SugaaarRush Sadly you Limeys think you think you're right. The whole world knows you're wrong and rather pathetic for that matter.

[badsign1980]

Ireland has been drown like 2 years ago. they have the highest debt to gdp ratio of 1,312% their GDP in 2009 was 177 billion and with debt of 2.32 TRILLION!!

GOOD LUCK WITH ALL MEANS!!!

[grahamg13]

[818doodooroo]

@grahamg13 just google highest debt to gdp ratio

[grahamg13]

the ratio is 66% not 1,312% .... kind of obvious seeing as greeces debt to gdp ratio is 115%.

[MarksMarketing]

The smartest idea to get us out of the merda we are in is to stop giving money to criminal bankers and invest it in creating jobs for the real people not the elite

[GaryJMcGeown]

lets start by saving energy

[rottwieler20]

The only way of how to get this country back on its feet is to say no to all immigrants meaning no black africans of any kind or sort no polish and other eastern-european scum no chink-chinese and pakie workers no romanian bums and beggers no Yanks and most definitley no fucking cunting inbred british english bastards all you bring to our great-nations shorres is high-crime rates massive resession and poverty loss of jobs Ireland for the Irish only.

[breda83]

@rottwieler20 take out the catholic Irish and Ireland will bloom

[rottwieler20]

@breda83 Why dont you leave Ireland we are all Catholics here.

[breda83]

@rottwieler20 Not all catholics son. I million protestants in the north and 300,000 in the south and other denominations as well.

[Donavan68]

@breda83 Many atheists in Ireland?

[breda83]

@Donavan68 look up google

[fairhillnorrie]

sorry but they are all corrupt and have been for years.. give SF a chance now.. free Ireland from corruption.. get this Government out.. JAIL The Fat Cats... people power in my Country is the only way forward..

[Makehaywhileucan]

Finally the Irish will dis FF for good I hope. Give FG a chance. They can't be any worse than the totaly corrupt church ass licking FF. If they had kept Garrett Fitz back in the daythings would be much better today.

[robhere1982]

The 'Welcoming' Irish blame everyone but themselves for the so-called recession. Irish brats my age wouldn't do the jobs foreigners do, it would be beneath them. The 'Sex in the City' Generation deserve every fall that's coming. They have a materialistic life & live for drinking & partying. No soul, no real love of my Country & lost to a pornographic way of life. Let's hope this 'recession' really kicks in. Then again it will be just another excuse for the Irish Slut Generation to drink more. :)

[squidcreek]

Yeah every time I see another 2009 reg. car it's yay there goes another 40,000 euro out of Ireland and into Germany or somewhere..greedy greedy people. I'm ashamed to call them Irish

[Invirtuo]

Economic ignorance...

[irishnwowatch]

[martinbelmont]

[fairhillnorrie]

time for the quiet Irish to make a stand and vote NO to Lisbon.. we are fuc~ed over banks, politicians, builders, speculators, and European union, they should be all jailed.. fuc~ing fat cats ,,, vote NO again to Lisbon...

[oliversinhell3]

well said !

[ireland2day]

Thumbs up to that!

[squidcreek]

or don't vote. I choose not to vote! Voted no to Nice, but I think we should just have a blanket absentee ballot!

[MrHankscorpio100]

vote no?? joing the european union and recieving investment from them is what helped become a prosperous european nation in the first place. you want to vote no on something? vote no on fianna fail in the next general election. bunch of fuckin fat cat pricks who drove this country into the ground with their naive government policies. they should be ashamed.

[thekeythesecret]

@fairhillnorrie i did mate but government twisted every1s arm ;(

[rutlandplace]

Get the IRA away from drug dealing and let them run the shite.Cant do any worst the fat slop cowen.HEY fat slob hows that land deal going?fat cunt.

[marlowsutube]

Pls give me even 1 evidenced eg of "IRA drug dealing" . But you're rite; they couldn't do any worse than Clowen

[elmarcoco]

81 billion less tax revenues.... can somebody verify that please? Because the total goverment revenue is only have that in a good year.

Unless they were expecting a million millionaires to immigrate into Ireland

[oliversinhell]

INSTANT SOLUTION !

NATIONALIZE ALL OIL AND GAS RESERVES OFF THE IRISH COASTS !

there's trillions of euros out there , but the multinationals are stealing every bit of it with the help of Irish traitors !

[springbox1982]

your pretty thick Ireland has practically no oil and very little gas. The truth is Ireland never put away and saved any money during the good times. It was spend spend sepend. Now there nothing to fall back on. Ireland will revert to a small export country with a small economy and very modest growth at best.

[ireland2day]

It is a truly epic tale of the most heinous treachery by Big Business interests who promulgated a phony boom to enrich themselves and have utterly destroyed an ancient culture as a result.

A terrible National tragedy.

[abyrne16]

Where is the music in this video from? It's great!

[dunnededunnedunne]

the band is Múm.

the song is 'Green Grass Of Tunnel'

[iwsab]

such nice music. agreed.

[OmarThePug]

Shut up and eat your kids!

[Ednily]

But I thought we were rich?! Topping the happiness index and quality of life index, and great education and friendly people and nice butter and all IT whizzes! Are we not great??

[iwsab]

apparently now. at least not anymore.

[cardesigner5]

we are rich and have gained a great quality of life but not achieved for a long term. we depend too much on foreign multinationals. not enough large irish companies and industry. we dont make anything

[mackbright]

if the media were not cheerleading this fucking recession do you think the country woild be as shit as it is now?? seriously doubt it

[mordreth]

If it wasn't for the cheery music I wouldn't have been able to watch this all the way through...xD

[Sronpop]

uh oh spagetti 0's
