Enda should go further. He should let his fellow heads of government know that Ireland is contemplating encouraging further multinational investment with a unilateral cut in the rate, bringing it down to 9.9 per cent.
They would go ape; but he can remind them that Ireland's tax is Ireland's business. He should point out that Ireland is not in a position to repay its mountain of debt, that Europe has a responsibility for our plight.
He should then return from Brussels after the summit on March 24 and announce that he intends to hold a referendum on the EU/IMF deal.
Referendums in Ireland usually put the fear of God into Europe.
We have a record of awkward popular outbreaks of democracy that refuse to be bullied by Brussels.
If we are about to take a hard line in the interests of the economy, we need ministers who understand economics and can read balance sheets.
I think we would have to make Enda our Grand Emperor for life if he did this
Emmet! That's an unacceptable amount to have in you're BA. Although my mammy did put my Children's allowance straight into my BA for 18 years.
LOL
I came from one of the few households where the Children's Allowance was vitally needed.
My back account can resemble Emmet's at times and I'm working

Indeed, the economy would have been better served by putting Joan (with her accountancy expertise) and Olivia (with her economics background) into key ministries. Olivia was ignored. Joan was humiliated.
I'm not a big fan of Joan but she was the lock for this job and it's odd beyond measure she was passed over

best of luck with this, this money is best spent on booze and drugs like everyone else does. The day that mickey money was given out used to be the easiest day of the month to get laid so don't let the missus near it
send your kid doon de mines to earn the uni fees and blame the recession

Absolutley mental game.
You'd be on the tightrop and someone would cut the rope

Just an evil, evil bastard of a game

hahaha, ya it came in the insta load cartridge, evil is right, they used to have ever decrasing bucket sizes...and the knifetthrowing as well!!!
I think "accountancy expertise" has been monumentally overstated in terms of relevance to the job in question tbh.
Better qualified than I teacher I would imagine

That figure should be WAY higher.

Lost a alot of respect for Shane Ross when I read this a week ago. The part about having a referendum on the bailout is such populsist nonesense I wouldn't expect it from someone like Shane Ross.

What position should Moan have gotten? With Labour being a minority Governent she was never going to get Finance as that was always going to go to FG. The problem with the Public sector reform job is that she has about as much tact as Hitler at a bar mitzvah. Looking at her performance on Vinny Browne before the election it would be pains me just imaging her chair delicate negotians with Public sector TU. The fact she played the gender card as soon as she wasn't given a "top" position sums her up. The women is clearly deluded.
Remember I left early on Saturday? Been ill with some manner of infection since.
Too much excitment is all, ur still trying to get over the shock. Have some Ice cream and u will be all better. Thats what i learned from my mentor Dr. Nick
It helps to realise that most illness and infections are caused by bacteria in the system.
Once this relatively simple concept is grasped, you simply fall back on something that will kill bacteria yet not kill you.
This obviously leaves injecting Domestos and sniffing anti bacterial soap out of the equation.
You are left with man's most trusted anesthetic, alcohol.
Simply get absolutely cuntarsed drunk and the resulting inflow of alcohol will kill the bacteria, keep you alive and probably will be the most fun had in 'treatment'
Don't forget, as you are 'off sick' you get to sleep all day (furthering the bodies’ recovery) and miss the hangover.
Another advantage of this method uses Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest, (weakest members of the herd killed 1st means the herd operates more efficient and stronger) alcohol kill brain cells; using the theory outlined above, the slowest, weakest brain cells will be killed off. This means upon returning to work you will operate at maximum capacity without all those 'bad' brain cells in the way slowing the cognitive process

I'm joking just in case anyone takes it seriously on the second option..
Also my VHI covers for 2 GP visits a year, at least that's what the rep said.
Hmm, I'm with Aviva but may need to examine the fine print.

While it is true that I nearly died of shock on Saturday (like most of us I expect), once I realised that I would, indeed, live it began to dawn on me that I was really fucking ill.
Solid medical advice though. We'll show Buckley when he qualifies and we ignore anything he has to say on medical matters.

I've lost all respect for Kayroo after Jury Duty last week
The highlight was when one of the witnesses starting shouting at the defence saying his Perry Mason tactics were not going to work on him.
that sounds deadly tbf

Just caught up with all of Jersey Shore, now time to hit up season 5 of FNL which have been putting off for a week
Not sure if Fullers Honey Dew qualifys as an ale but it is tres nice
It's actually not as sweet as you'd think but goes down real easy, tesco should stock it but it was almost €3/500ml bottle last time I bought. Once upon a time I used to attempt to include in marinate for steak. Twas awesome with cheaper meat but wasted valuable drinking/eating time.
There's very little detail in the article on endgadget - I'm beginning to think your as much of an Android fanboy as the Apple droolers you complain about
Seems like a serious tablet. Undecided in either the xoom or the galaxy 10.1. Ipad 2 idea has gone out the window at this stage.......I don't think I could bear Danny ranting on me for the foreseeable future

Double LOL
First at the idea that you think you will actually save all the mickey money for 18 years and even more at thinking that 40 K will be enough to sponsor the sprog through College.
