		<description><![CDATA[September &#8217;08. For several years, commentators, economists and the OECD had been saying that Ireland was eroding its competitiveness with an asset price bubble focussed on property, mainly residential. Those in authority and those temporarily profiting (strongly overlapping cadres) sneered at the warnings and the warners. Famously, the Taoiseach-du-jour suggested that they should &#8216;commit suicide&#8217;. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are three lies being told by the pro-NAMA camp and repeated by journalists who can’t be bothered to check some facts. Firstly, it is said that ‘NAMA is not a bailout for developers’. If, by some miracle, NAMA comes good after 10 or 15 years, who will be the owners of these now profitable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The smug cheek of it!! Having ruined our finances through greed and neglect in 06 and 07 and squandered our opportunity to show some leadership over Lisbon, Minister Lenihan is now confident that the Irish people will  now accept whatever Frankenstein refashioning of the rejected &#8216;constitution&#8217; is put before them in the Autumn. He is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was highly amusing to hear that noted European statesman Junior Minister Dick Roche commenting on the latest poll on &#8216;Lisbon&#8217;. Especially revealing were the comments on the &#8216;guarantees&#8217; concerning the sensitivities of the tender Irish voters. There are, as of now, no &#8216;guarantees&#8217;. There is much talk and many promises (mainly from Irish politicians) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More blame shifting from FF. It wasn&#8217;t me, he says, it was the poor quality of regulations that we had. So we are promised a whole new set of them. I only hope he gets the peace and quiet needed to draft them, preferably in his retirement. First off, there is nothing wrong with the [...]]]></description>
