Ireland is so far fucked and people dont even realise it. Until people wake up to the IMF coming in and taking control of our country people will sit back and let Fianna Fail run wild. Do people honestly believe what they are being told about the state of the countries finances? Take the figures the government are giving the public and multiply them by a large number and thats how bad things really are.

Sometimes you have to let things fall apart so that you can start to build them back up, Irish people seem to want to do this the hard way so thats the way its gonna be. Maybe when the dust settles they will learn that the people own the country and not one political party and the next time a political party attempts to hijack the country the people might actually stand up for themselves.

It wouldnt be the first time, or the second time for that matter, that Irish people were forced to leave their own country. It is a very sad situation and depresses me every time I think about it.

I think the problem is how do we as Irish citizens get rid of the diseased government we have at the moment and replace it with something that works??
I think George Lee summed up the problem while he was in government everything takes to long to get sorted out because theres to much bull and red tape

absolute revolution... new party, new ideals, new thinking... there is no effective opposition and that is the issue. Who do you replace a crap government with when the replacement options are all as bad.

no offense intended Pete but unfortunately I think the majority of people in Ireland think like you, the problem is when the L,O,L'ing has ceased and not alone have you no money to put petrol in your car but there is no petrol available in the country it will be too late to take an interest in these matters and you will be living in a third world country.

For those who dive give a fuck here is something else to infuriate you even further... thats right, they are giving themselves a bigger budget/payrise

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/divided-dail-unites-to-give-itself-a-pay-rise-2410792.html
As the country faces economic meltdown, TDs and senators are planning to improve their already plush terms and conditions.

An official estimate of the money required to run the Dail in 2011 'sneaked' through the Dail last Thursday reveals that the recession stops at the gates of Leinster House.

In a touching scene, deputies across all parties suspended hostilities and agreed to the estimates without a single objection.

The estimates reveal that the cost of a Dail which serves fewer people than the population of cities such as greater Manchester, will in 2011 come to €112,983,000 -- which represents a drop of just €1.2m (or 1 per cent) on last year's spending.

But expenditure on the perks and services enjoyed by our TDs and senators will actually increase in certain areas next year.

The cost of salaries for TDs, senators and secretarial assistants will increase, while salaries of staff like those in catering and behind the Dail bar will decrease.

The estimates for 2011 reveal that there will be an increase in the postal and telecommunications service, which allows TDs and senators to send out promotional literature to their constituents.

The budget for delegates to 'other parliamentary assemblies' has increased by 50 per cent and the 'grant in aid' for 'inter-parliamentary activities' has also increased by a whopping 40 per cent.

Even this, however, is dwarfed by the increase in the budget for allowances in respect of former members of the houses of the Oireachtas, which has been increased from €49,000 to €149,000.

At a time when pensioners fear losing entitlements such as free travel, the estimates also contain an increase of the 'grant in aid' to parliamentary pensioners from from €10,084,000 to €10,562,000, indicating that Dail and Seanad pension recipients will be unique within the country in actually securing an increase next year. The estimates also reveal that there will be a substantial increase in the Budget for televising Dail and Seanad proceedings, which provides TDs and Senators with much-desired coverage.

Though some minimalistic cuts are revealed in the anticipated expenses of TDs and senators, one source noted that "when the increases are taken in the round, TDs and senators will not be losing a penny in salaries and expenses next year''.
