Jump To Comment: 1I like the way you slipped in that all this is because Ireland is a member of the EU.
Unfortunately you miss the point that what you descibe is simply class war and this will
continue whether Ireland is a member of the EU or not. The fact is that a class of private
bondholders and developers suceeded in transferring their debts onto the state and the state is
collecting this money from the people throught cutbacks in spending and additional direct taxes and a sizeable proportion of the electorate fell for FF guff prior to the 'crash' and have fallen for FG\Lab guff
before the last election. The leaders of Ireland are in full agreement with the leaders of the EU
on who has to pay the debts of the property boom.
Will these leaders pull out of EU. No. The entire political landscape would have to change. 90% of
current Dail.
