    Good point.

    From what Ive read, Ireland has only enough money until March 2011.

    I cant understand how the whole of Ireland never smelt a rat when they saw an economy built on dinky software and bricks and mortar-monoply money house prices. A house in Cork the same price as a house in the Loire Valley?

    Maybe becuase Irish people born in the late 70s never had to go to England/USA to work and live and experience other governments/economies.

    I dont know.

  • THIS COUNTRY IS IN A 10 TO 15 YEAR RESSESION THE CLEVER PEOPLE THAT HAVE US WERE WE ARE WILL NEVER SUFFER

  • bought my home for 385k in 2006..... now its worth 190k....and dropping...... i got small mortgages through the years as we moved from house to house.... banks gave us loans and i wasnt even working...... no joke..... I'm in a mortgage for 35 years and thankfully i owe nothing now otherwise id burn down my house if i owed that amount.... would do prison rather than pay it......so those out there who are caught tell the banks to f off....its there fault..

  • Economic terrorism by the bankers

  • banks making bad loans... they have orders fromk top to loan, and charge interest rates even low... lowest they will suck up all the money because they loan 10 times more then they actually have... this system is called slavery... its like i have 20 euros and loan 200 and charge interest on them... but the people i loan to never see the cash, comes to a time there isnt physical money in circulation to pay me... bankrupcy!!!tell me what does this do with the people?country~~'?
