We have debt....does the UK? I think so.
The local issues in Ireland are the same around the world...hardly means that we are a basket case....
I know many of our doctors dont go to London to work because the rent is too high there also...issues are the same in most countries...
But hardly makes us a basket case...we got bailed out cause of rotten banks...UK got bailed out back in the 70's I believe.
Hardly makes us a basket case.....because of out growth this year we have to set a side about €3. 5 billion as our contribution....cause worse of countries then us in here now...but again hardly makes us a basket case...
Interesting stuff Dubs.

Most of us have the same problems within our society.

Look at the link below though and see just how much the U.K. nett contributes to this b o l l o x compared to even France!

The sooner we leave the better.

Perhaps you’ll be asked to contribute more to Poland and Latvia when we depart!?
