Families hard hit on day one of Irish Budget – and there’s more to come

Well put, Bogside Bunny! Yer bang on da (er!) money! The southern Irish were lured into the Common Market (CM)/European Community (EC)/European Economic Community (EEC)/European Union (EU)/United States of Europe(USE) with copious ladels of euro gravy grants. No it's payback time. Down with the euro-imperialsm and the euro.

The Irish "common people" have no one but themselves to blame for the current fiscal conditions. They accepted the "socialist" welfare State when it was handing out goodies when times were good. They sold their souls to the company store and now it's payback time. Benefits are great "control tools" for the politicians. Give them to the peons and you're their best buddy. And "buddy vote" is what it's all about. Take those benefits away and the screaming begins. Suck it up all ye Hibernian puppets, quit your crying, dump the give-away phony politicians and stand on your own two feet.
