We need to introduce a National Bank (not AIB) that is purely a transaction bank. We MUST refuse to pay anymore of the bank debt (i.e. separate it from sovereign debt). Wealthy people will lose money, some a lot. But that is the free market. We are more than capable of showing true courage , standing on our own feet (and still part of theEU) and having some fucking pride in OUR country. The alternative is what we have now. Reducing or non existent control of our own economy and a certain recession of at least 6 years IMHO. Maybe it would be similar outside of the euro zone but at the end of it would will have a fairer society and relatively little emigration. I could go on an on and on...... We have to leave the Euro.

Would you care to tell us what you propose ? I know that there is no painless way out of the current economic crises and whatever road we take, or continue on the present disastrous course, there is always going to be detractors with a vested interest. Michael,

Raise taxes and reduce spending, but most of this would have to come from the wealthy and upper middle classes, as the poor and lower middle classes could only take so. Secondly, default on the bank debt, but this would only buy time while we get our finances in order. Thirdly, print more money, which of course will lead to inflation. The newspapers push the third option, and there is a very good reason. The newspapers are into the banks for huge loans, and printing money would reduce their real debt because printing money would cause inflation, therefore deflating their debts. All the commentators from Universities and the media push for default, and with good reason. The commentators all earn good money. So, they do not want increased taxes on the hgih earners. They also do not want to print more money because this would effectively, via inflation, erode their high salaries. The Fine Gael does not want to raise taxes on the wealthy, including businesses, because they get donations from them, and Labour does not want to cut the high salaries of those in the public service.

An injunction was issued against me without a court hearing. An injunction to try and stop me telling people about corrupt solicitors and how the government is involved in missappropriating money from Irish bank accounts. I won't write any more here for various reasons. When telling the germans, where I live now, many reply with one word "Mafia". Great articles, keep them coming. Michael Maher Dear Eamon,

The very same will happen the next time. GET POWER BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY, and then make the means justify the end. BUT will anything really change. They, the privileged bankers,that caused the problem, have cosseted,protected and sheltered themselves so securely,that while they will just offer us pious platitudes, and tell us "we know where you are coming from", "we know what you're saying ", "we feel you pain " etc etc etc, **liathroidi ** , deep down they don't give a shit, someone will pay, but not those who caused the destruction. They will sit in their plush offices, sip their coffee, look out the windows, at the protesting plebs, be so entertaining and amused, and think about their pensions, lump sums, expenses etc. They know, with certainly that they will not have to pay. Will Irish history record how these elite and untouchable groups in our country,were so generously rewarded for destroying a nation in such a short time scale, whereas the might of an empire failed over 800 years. Like ER above I am self employed and know on a daily basis the results of these "experts". I have 5 children, 4 of them and their families, 13 people, are spread over the world in forced emigration. I know that not one of these "bankers" or "Destroyers of a nation and it's people" will lose a blink of sleep. I agree with Eamonn, these " professional" ( bankers, experts) have such an arrogance that it is beyond staggering. It is mind-boggling. At least we still have our vote, that is those of us still in the country.

This government is all about looking good in Europe ,wait till they try and bring in the next budget the shit should hit the fan when hard pressed people are asked to dig even deeper for what ,so we can be the good boys of Europe . I am self employed in services sector and have seen my turn over go from good with 4 employed to 1 me working part time if I hear, export this export, that again I will scream the frustration of trying to get through to this government is like trying to pull your finger nails off with a pliers they just don't get it,the same as the last government did not get it I would not put them in charge of building a Lego house let alone run the country. Sometimes I feel I can see the future in slow motion and I don't like where it's going. Thanks.
