  • The bankers did the same thing to the United States, big banks got trillions in gov. Bail outs then they turned around and squeezed the middle class, forclosed on many and turned around and blaimed the victims.

  • Hopefully your like minded spouting crap of talking out of rose tinted glasses of academia, Mr Trinity will be rocked and knocked to it's foundataion and the rubble will be used to make some more stone circles, instead of institutions of?????????

  • The central banks sold us down the river, got us hooked on their crack and then withdrew the supply. Now they gobble up the world and we are left to hold the bag.

  • Damn you banksters!

  • Follow mortgage arrears on facebook for help.

  • Ireland - do what Iceland did.

    Default on your debts. The Irish people didn't make this bed, the Irish government and banking system did. You don't owe them a thing.

    Iceland did exactly this, and they are doing FINE today.

  • @fuzzywzhe

    Pity our government have bankers, builders and developers in their pockets!! We'd be grand only for that!

  • @fuzzywzhe People all over the world would do good to follow your advise. The bankers have rulled for to long. Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. - Oscar Ameringer We have not been protected! They should loose their mansions before we loose our food. Every humane should have basics needs before some get to live like kings. They caused the problem they should be the loosers.

  • @fuzzywzhe the people did do it, we all did

  • @johnfox3 "the people did do it, we all did"

    You don't quite understand how a bank works. A bank takes that as a reserve amount, loans out about 7 times that amount to anybody at interest, and if enough of the loans aren't paid back, it's the depositor's the bank has lost, not their own.

    This is simply a criminal activity. Banks don't care if they lose OTHER people's money, that's why they so recklessly loaned money out. You need to put the bankers in jail.

  • @fuzzywzhe I know how a bank works mate. who took out those loans?

  • @johnfox3 "I know how a bank works mate. who took out those loans?"

    People and corporations that can't possibly pay them back. Mostly corporations.

    Where was the loan officers as they were handing out their depositor's money to these people and corporations that can't possibly pay back the loans? This is the whole point of due diligence and credit ratings.

    Failing that, there is the underlying asset that is collateral for the loan. Hopefully the assessors did their job..

    Haha, right.

  • @fuzzywzhe consumer borrowing, particuarly in the housing market, and consuming that drove coperations to invest, I think it was a collective fault

  • @johnfox3 "consumer borrowing, particuarly in the housing market, and consuming that drove coperations to invest, I think it was a collective fault"

    It's not the responsibility of a borrower to make certain that they can pay back a loan. It's the responsibility of the lender to make certain the underlying asset covers the loan or that the borrower will repay. There will always be irresponsible borrowers, the problem is with lending institutions that don't worry about repayment.

  • @fuzzywzhe "It's not the responsibility of a borrower to make certain that they can pay back a loan" - I think this is where we differ, I think it is both the lender and borrower...

  • @johnfox3 If a bank creates a loan there is nothing in consideration of it not even cash. For this reason there is never enough money in the system to repay all the loans. Whose fault is this? it is certainly not the borrower. It is the totally fraudulent way in which the banking/money system functions. This is what happens as a result of fractional reserve banking.

  • just drink more.....this is Ireland

  • @coalie1979 Seriously are you dumb or just mentally retarded? Ireland needs as many people to stay in the country as possible for people to spend money to build the economy back up. The worst thing that can happen to Ireland now is to have people leaving the country you dumbass. Dont start saying things what you dont have a bloody clue about you dimwit!!

  • @louie12ie Well I don't want to recieve the same barrage of insults if you wouldn't mind please, but I am going to have to disagree with you. For starters those that stay will be adding to the cost of welfare. Whilst if they go abroad, they will find work and send the money home to help with families who can then use that extra disposeable income. Your right people do need to keep spending but if that is dole money they are using, then it is worthless. In bad times, people buy food not luxeries

  • @Lordangers Most of the foreigners in this country are taking jobs that Irish people think they are too classy for eg Mcdonalds, cleaners, Lidl etc and would rather claim of the welfare than to work them jobs so what you are saying is complete nonsense. And secondly your solution to all this is foreigners out? Are you serious? What about all the Irish people that are all living abroad now from the famine? Should all them "Irish foreigners" be told to leave as well? Think before you post next tim

  • @louie12ie WTF? I am talking about young Irish peoples leaving here not "foreigners". Also you will find many reports of how desperate people are for work. Did you see the RTE report on part-time placements at M&S? It was only temporary jobs for 600 but there were over 1,500 applicants. Some were highly skilled and cued for hours. Most of my friends who are unemployed would do anything for work, anything to just get them doing things.

  • @Lordangers YOU ARE ALL WRONG. SPENDING AND DEBT AND CONSUMERISM, lost you your jobs in the first place. UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THE REAL NATURE of the CAPITALIST system you all will continue to look up each others arses without seeing the light. THIS SYSTEM IS DYING. WE ALL will suffer its death throes due to banksterism and corrupt politicians etc GROWTH is unsustainable with PEAK oil etc. ONLY LOCALISED VENUS PROJECTS no matter how primitive they may be until we upgrade the machines IS REALITY.

  • You will change nothing while you keep to the BANKSTER systems and fiat currency of anykind, digital or otherwise. ANYHTING THAT IS DONE as so called overhauling the system is in FACT no more than just

    changing deckchairs on the TITANIC. YOU all need to undersatand THE WHOLE FUCKING SYSTEM is sinking and there never has been and never will be enough money for all human needs. ONLY A TOTAL change to a RBE economy were machines and science take care of all human needs. NOT POLITICIANS etc.

    to a

  • @nbm34 Grow or die. Simple laws of the jungle.

  • @Lordange QUITE TRUE LAWS OF NATURE. So I suggests you best prepare to die, or struggle like you have never known, because CAPITALISM can not grow subject to the economic enviromental and social conditions previously mentioned. MANKIND has until now survived the laws of nature by the ability to build homesand build welfare into the CAPITALIST system as poor as it is. These conditions are now changing dramaticly. NO SOCIAL HOUSING NO JOBS, and growth impossible were MONEY is in the hands of a few

  • The economic crisis has been very deep in Ireland, before the crash Irish per capita annual income was 150% of the E.U average, now it is down to 130%, we are now at the same level of income as the Dutch, but still 15-20% ahead of the Uk or France.

  • In hindsight Iceland didn't collapse because they said fuken NO to the IMF. Well done Iceland. Soon we will find out if our unelected leaders here in Britain have the same balls or if it will be years of riots and hardship.

  • Why are the Irish allowing their government to pay all the debts of its privately owned banks, debts to German, British, and French banks who made irresponsible loans (against the warnings of their risk analysts) to those Irish banks? Bizarre.

  • @AnotherCuppaCoffee Because we are in the Euro (we cannot set our own policies). In fact, we cannot do much unless we exit the Euro. Of course no.1; we must fire our corrupt government who allowed this.

  • Celtic tiger... it's so funny... And who are Irish people? lol

    Irish folk you must stay in pubs and drink even more alcohol then you will become Island of Lions in isolated and remote Island in edge of Europe, lol

  • Direland, jewel in the crown of the Eutarded Union.

  • i lived over there during the boom and they were dicks!

  • perhaps they could call it the Celtic Pussy now. Go ahead and burn American flags again like you were doing only a few years ago. Soon enough the boatloads of Irish youth wanting work will be on our shores again. To quote the Bible..."Pride Cometh Before a Great Fall". May your nonexistant god help you.

  • Ireland, Greece, Botswana, Haiti, Ethiopia, N.Korea. Shame on them all for not having enough of a clue as to how to run an economy. They shouldn't even be allowed to run their own economies anymore. I mean how long do you keep watching them fuck it up and then bail them out with your own money before you say sorry you're not capable of doing this xyz country has been brought in to do it for you.

  • You have problems with unemployment? Well, kick those 300.000 non-European immigrants and don't shit something about EU = Hitler's plan B, cuz Hitler didn't want Europe to be full of immigrants idiots!

  • Irish people have the ability to recover from this challenge - it was forseeable by those who asked questions. Unfortunately, few remembered to ask the right questions. An most ignored the answers.

    Now the younger generation can take their talent offshore and make a fresh start. Just don't restart your life in other depressed European states. At some stage another war will start in Europe and it will creap up on you, with politicians blaming someone other than themselves.

  • "One of these things you could never see coming".

    IS HE F###ING SERIOUS?

  • @neemz2000 hahahahahahahaha.. seriously. Its like getting hit in the face by an oncoming train.

  • why give ireland a penny.they blew n.ireland to bits and it was fuckers from the south.friend in need my arse rem the help for hitler.tut tut

  • @ALBIONTYKE to be honest with you I dont give a continental shit about Poland anymore , and yet it may be only resque for them to become German speaking and rather follow Angela Merkel than fucken Polish Law and Justice party. But as i said I really dont care. What I careabout is Irish budged and what will IMF, ECB and European Commission bring to this country.

  • Today's morning, i red an article in the newspaper: "celtic tiger knocked down". I always admired you for being strong and proud - now in this dark hour, you have to be it more than ever.

    Although we started two horrible wars, Europe and the US helped us to stand up again. Now that we survived the crisis fairly good, it's our turn to remain at our brothers' side. The Irish tiger will rise again, as we did after the war - don't give up!

    As cmorganis said, we all know you are fighters.

  • This is very embarrasing for the Irish :))

  • stand strong Ireland... we know you're fighters!

  • @cmorganis we are fed up fighting this evil system that exists in ireland its wearing us down our politics is evil and curropt our politicans and bankers and builders have destroyed us and we put a new government in hoping for change but this is not working they are screwing and degrading us even more my father of 55 is working two jobs because of high taxes id love to see change but the old evil politicans we have are not helping us at all and dont want to

  • The day of reckoning is fast approaching for them.

    plastic dreams and shiny baubles have them sleeping while the wolves are knocking on their doors.If the people do not stand up together and fight the bailing out of the banks they deserve what they get.

  • @dave777blaster Em no. We know exactly whats going to happen. A significant minority have known this since circa 2005. Its just that our own government is too arrogant to listen to the people. There will be big fucking riots very soon.

  • @Freshhhhh1982 riot all you want to it won't change your situation companies will begin to close people laid off all over while the bakers get huge bonuses and laugh at the rest of the people that is the pattern .

    They gave loans to people they knew could not pay and then the banks made huge bets against the loans being paid they knew they would fail to start with

    then in comes the govt and for a kick back bail the banks out on tax payers money while the people are living a nightmare

  • @dave777blaster Yeah I know the situation and whats coming. We also have a local election next week that will lead to a general election. The party that is going to win this local election is against the bank bailout.

  • @Freshhhhh1982 How long will they be against it when millions are flashed in front of them?

  • @dave777blaster For this party, a very long time.

  • @dave777blaster Also, the banks didnt get into the amount of trouble they're in by lending to Irish people. We only have a population of 4.5 million.

  • @Freshhhhh1982 Iceland has less people didn't matter much their now broke.

    I explained to you the pattern

    they made bad loans to the people the people partied like drunken sailors the banks then made bets against repayment of the loans and invested in or sold derivatives.

    The end result will be the same beggars in the streets and so on and so forth .

    as bad if not worse than the potato famine.

    what's worse is the people actually voted to join the Communist EU

    best prepare for austerity now

  • @dave777blaster No Icelands government bonds have dropped considerably. Their unemployment is also dropping and their economy is slowly growing.

  • @dave777blaster No Icelands government bonds have dropped considerably. Their unemployment is also dropping and their economy is slowly growing.

    As bad as the potatoe famine, ok you havent a clue.

  • @Freshhhhh1982 wait around awhile and see you had best prepare

  • The day of reckoning is fast approaching for them.

    plastic dreams and shiny baubles have them sleeping while the wolves are knocking on their doors.

  • I wish Ireland all the best...

    the total collapse is coming...while most of the world is distracted with bullshit...

    sports, TV, nascar, movies, actors...you name it.

    whatever misfortune befalls us...we deserve it.

    Our governments and big business have been fucking us for years and we let them get away with it. We have had so many chances to fix things and we voted for a lying, corrupt piece of shit instead.

    We have passed the tipping point and there is no return now.

    Good luck Ireland!

  • @countrysamurai Nope. We do not fucking deserve it. Anyone who voted FF does however deserve a fucking kick in the mouth for stupidity.

  • @Freshhhhh1982 I was referring more to the states (I did use the word us) and our impact on the worlds economies but I would disagree with you...for the most part...the lying fucks who are causing all of these economic woes...we or our people put them in power.

    I have to ask though...what do you mean by "voted FF"? I am not familiar with that or if I know what it means...I have never heard it called that. Thanks.

  • @countrysamurai FF are the biggest political party in Ireland. On your other point, I aint shouldering no blame for parasites like bankers like bankers and corrupt politicians.

  • Stand up to the Krauts Ireland ! Good luck from England.

  • Ireland gave up their sovereignty to EU - and this is the result. EU has NO future. EU is Hitler's plan B. If you don't believe - than continue to suffer.

  • @tranquilnightmares well I work as a financial manager for €25 per hour , have all Irish and international qualifications , speak 3 languages fluently , know all operating systems and banking systems , know Irish and EU LAW , do business with polish suppliers and Irish customers and to be honest don't see anybody here to be capable to do my job - do I still steal your job or maybe I help your economy grow ?(and to be clear I do not send any money to Poland as I think that's killing IE)

  • @ArubaIsland1 Yet your happy to leave your quasi third world Polska & milk the Irish for a higher standard of living. Before Poland gets any where near the lifestyle & living standards of Ireland the EU will implode under it's own weight of greed. Lets see how clever you & the rest of the Polish are then, as you dissolve away under the control of the 21st century 3rd Riech. You Polaks will all be speaking German in 15 years. Aufeiderzien mein kliene auslander !

  • We don’t still your jobs!!! Why all the brits and irish are so stupid? Why don’t you see that you just have no chance to compete with us because of you wrong attitude, lack of experience lack of knowledge lack of brain simply! My boss is an Irish and he says he will never employ an Irish any more ....he must say it for a reason! And you know why is stilling the jobs - Indians ,Pakis ,Black - they are working illegally , not a chance that whitin EU one job is stolen ! THINK YOU IDIOTS !

  • @ArubaIsland1 That's because foreigners generally work for less pay. No disrespect, but it's fact.

  • Comment removed

  • @mushroom2you Oh MAN i just love you !!! youre so fucken right about everything youve said about the irish !

NOT AT ALL!

  • Should never have taken on the Euro currency, in my opinion. No control over the interest rates for mortgages.

  • Looks like the Celtic Tiger has become the Celtic Bubble.

  • :Ireland is closed till further notice.

  • To the Irish. Stop acting like addicted fools of other people's money (as is quickly becoming an epidemic in the US) and get back to your roots of making good things happen individually. As survivors of the potato blight, you already know that single dependency kills. As Catholics and students of the Bible you know that individuals create abundance if they work on themselves, for themselves, and in doing it helps others. You're the most charitable island on the planet. Get off the crack!!

  • @gforde6 hahahaha catholics ..greedy ones !

  • google " Probe into Italy mafia money laundering " and " Is Anglo-Irish Bank an international slush fund?"

    The bailing out of Anglo-Irish Bank has destroyed Ireland remember.yet the media keeps these facts hidden.

  • @Truthisgreater I know. Why the fuck are we bailing out these cunts. Iceland let their banks fall and they're doing a lot better than us right now.

  • Many consumers in Ireland have been mis-sold, misadvised and misinformed by the lending institutions. If you are a victim you could be entitled to compensation.

    financeclaims.ie

  • @rottwieler20 ohh really ? how come our jobmarkets in britain are full of desperate irish looking for jobs ? , in truth you screwed your own economy , without joining the euro you would have still been in poverty , get a life ya thick mick

  • @TheMadmoz .. obviously if there is Irish people looking for work over in england its because all the foreigners are stealing our work..isnt that one of the main points that's being highlighted in this conversation..???!!!

  • @xHermanTheGermanx oh thats ok , no problem cos there isnt any foreigners from Pakistan or india or wherever in Britain stealing our jobs or taxes , so come on over , im fairly sure you would be even more pissed off if half the young people in england came over to ireland looking for work because there was foreigners in england , luckily for ireland , U.K. doesnt have any foreigners eh

  • @TheMadmoz Because when we Irish travel abroad we work hard for our money we built most of america along with the black slaves the same way the blacks built up england you fucking english cunt your country was built up by african slaves so you cant say shit you dirty english prick.

  • @TheMadmoz You fucks come here and just milk the dole system along with the polish cunts.

  • Comment removed

  • @rottwieler20 made me laugh that comment about the english ,the U.K. has seen countless irish sponging jobs and dole over the decades, funny thing is you will probably move to england also to get a job at some point u ignorant prick ...the irish are yourselves an immigrant nation . cant have it both ways u muppet.

  • @TheMadmoz All you English bastards should get out of Ireland you're not wanted here and all the fucking ueselss Nigerian Africans here too we dont want any of you bums and beggers here all the romanian spungers standing outside our bars and clubs begging 24/7 hounding the Irish Ireland for the Irish only.

  • Expect more of the same until the sheeple who have behaved like sheeple realise that they are to be sacrificed for the Barristers, judges, bankers, politicians.

  • Irelands problem was giving work visas to the new sucession states where others like Germany and France didn´t. It led to a massive influx in foreigeners needing homes which led to an unprecedented property bubble in Ireland. Everybody thought they could get rich with bricks and mortar. They borrowed to the hilt and allowed fat cats and bankers to pull the wool over their eyes. Wanrings from different sources were ignored as many firmly believed in the immortality of the celtic tiger

  • i agree with james, but our problem is that we don`t export goods anymore, ok windows seven and cattle on the hoof. Look at Dublin most of them are importing, agent for this agent for that.

  • Im an Irishman myself. We have shot ourselves in the foot driven by greed, wealth and exceeding our needs and standards of living. Snobbery and materialism have taken over the public and we were being governed by greedy corrupt pricks who only driven by lining their own pockets and gaining publicity for themselves not their people. Worse still the people at fault will get off scot free while some people are behind bars for minor crimes and injustices

  • it's the same pattern as in south America circa 1970's

    international bankers lend money

    Oligarchs get rich the people suffer

    only difference is that the people are too dim to

    riot like they did in South America.

    Instead of suffering and separating from the

    EU they voted to jump into the arms of their

    slayers

  • @dave777blaster Oh you'll see rioting very shortly.

  • This in the Long run is great for Ireland, already people are coming up with new ideas for the Economy eg Spirit of Ireland. We could never keep up the way the Economy was going, no country in the world could, as the video said we'll become a small sustainable state but we'll still be at the top end of the GDP table in Europe. Similar to Luxembourg and Belgium. Not rich but not poor either.

  • This can be our finest hour,lets change our economy for the better

  • money is the Ruthe of EVIL... true or false??? enough said.. bring back the good old days when people worked hard for a living.... NOT A KILLING.. SICK EVIL GREEDY PEOPLE ..

  • Well said but the good old days are gone. My 'Sex in the City' Irish generation that have the gall to even call themselves Irish are as morally corrupt as you can get. Their God is materialism, drinking & screwing and you know what, their little 'superstar' Irish kids will be the exact same because it's 'cool' to be this way in Ireland now. The rot has set in & hardened. The values are ordinary working class parents grew up with have been shxx all over by my peers & laughed at.

  • I did it my way !!!!

    Hahahahahahahhhahahahah.

    - C'mere lads, - would'nt I look great with an ould apple shtuck in my fat gob ??

    Hah ??

    We big boys are only laughing at you dumb fucking twats.

    I can't believe we're getting away with it.....

    Hahahahahahaah.....

  • well said cowentwat well said, u egomanical muppet of wealth and greed

  • Well i'm glad we are out of this recession at last. I'm off now to buy 25 houses, a DB9, brag loudly at the pub about the houses and the car, while showing off my intimate knowledge of the best spots of NY and LA. And sure if all that goes wallop too, paddy the plasterer can pay it back for me. I F*****G LOVE IRELAND!

  • We big boys are only laughing at you dumb fucking twats.

    I can't believe we're getting away with it.....

    Hahahahahahaah.....

  • I did it my way !!!!

    Hahahahahahahhhahahahah.

  • I'm from Waterford, the reason the company went into receivership was because of the greed of management, they decided to mechanise production and still market the product as hand made. they also bought wedgewood china tn stoke on trent uk which was a loss making company from day one. they have a load of stock to sell now. i think it will be resurected because waterford handmade irish crysttal can reclaim its status as a world renowned luxurious yet attainable product of timeless beauty!

  • where's all the smug mick cunts going on about how great Oireland is? haha, yeah yeah sit down and shut the fuck up.

  • Hey Anglo, there are thousands of decent English/Scotish/Welsh people living in Ireland suffering from the economic downturn too that are fearful of returning to Britain as things are almost as bad there. As for beng smug, yes sadly some Irish are but of course there is no such thing as a smug limey cunt is there?

  • haha im irish and i find your comment funny...

  • Ya because the UK's in such great shape, it's in the worst recession in it's history. Sit down and shut the fuck up.

  • I have always been wondering how can such a small country be so reach and not produce anything.... obviously this was going to happen....i knew that an those who created this mess knew this too... well kind off...

  • Hello, anybody in there, hello!!! Thats the sound of the echo around your empty skull. Ireland is a huge exporter, one of the biggest in the world per head of pop.

  • "Ireland will go back to exports and slow growth"

    In other words real economic growth.

  • I came to diss the Irish for becoming to "arrogant" but after seeing this video I think I should show some respect instead.

    Respect.

  • 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. :)

  • I kind of feel the same way, but clearly you show that not all in the generation are stupid.

  • In happened here in the US starting a long time ago.

  • I do agree with most of what you say 80klm.

    But the unfortunate thing about my country is that we are left now with a legacy of empty developments, spoiled landscapes and segregated anonymous communities. I fear my government has squandered an opportunity to really improve people's lives and I think we could be left with many problems in the future - both social and economic.

    But I think there's always hope too.

  • Ted Maul. For Brass Eye. Reporting.

  • greedy free state cunts no mercy for them, who did they think they were they sat back living in a plastic world of credit, they have forgot about there nation 32 counties of it and worried more about there plastic econmy. i see there is more and more of them up here in the six counties, and its only a matter of time before loyalists start smashing there free state cars up etc, and then they may get a taste of what there fellow irish have suffered over the years. i say fuck them.

  • These things are cyclical. The recession is a breather actually. Things were becoming too capitalist. Looking forward to a socialist future!!!!!!!!!!

  • as long as there's no IMF/Imperial entanglements! God I hope there won't be!
