Other nations are in a race with competitive devaluations, but Ireland is unable to retain any manufacturing which is all going to Poland.

There is no 'wealth' just a spiral of debt triggered by easy money of EU grants, many Irish peeps left in a bad position now! But there's always the potato, so there is.

and our jobs are being exported to Czechoslovakia.......

We can't grow potatoes as we've built over our farming land.....

At least the Irish have faced up to the problems rather than spending money they haven't got.

Property prices down 40 to 50% is this a warning to the UK?

Maybe I should emigrate to Ireland and start the colonisation!

I Think we are in a better position than The Irish Republic, it was to a large degree living a dream, Almost money for nothing... A Bubble that has taken 15 yrs to get where it is now ... Irleand is Fuxxed for several / Many years to come IMO ...
