International Monetary Fund wants more cuts from the Irish

Damn gates of the asylum were left open again be off!! angrypaddy you bigoted termite.

You bought into the Euro,now you pay.remember who paid to build all your roads(the eec)when you joined you were to drunk to read the fine print Ireland has become the dumping ground for the excreta of Africa and eastern Europe

With a civil tongue I suggest that Minister Noonan look at the people who elected him and not bow in adoration of the IMF 'God'. This is part of the U.N./ IMF world control of governments who might show a bit of independence in how they run their countries. Throw in the big of pop control too.

Tell the IMF to F#ck off,enough is enough.

It's so difficult to move into the future with the IMF trying to hold the world back. I'm not shocked, yet stunned to hear the minister say "... it is well-founded advice coming from the IMF."

The IMF is as useless as the Irish government. More cuts and taxes -- and not one iota of reform. Sickening.

" ... we should be out on the streets in vast numbers and setting fire to government buildings..........enough is enough........its time to uprise ..." Agreed! Just don't burn down any libraries or police stations ... You are going to need the heat to arrest and expose the "progressives" in Irish government to the bright light of historical condemnation. The pen is mightier than the torch ...

" ... the lethal antigrowth prescriptions of the IMF, which is addicted to such Depression-era quackeries as currency devaluations and higher taxes. ..." - Steve Forbes editorial of 8/25/2012 Now that the International Monetary Fund has its hooks in Irish government, it will never let go. The mad pitbulls of "progressive" slash and burn economics will forever try to force Ireland into a slave state, a slave to the cruel punishments of double taxation and mutually masochistic self induced inflation. All inflation is caused by government, government prints the money and government can too easily print too much. The IMF should be run out of town, promptly, for even implying that it is Irish taxpayers fault for any economic problems ... the "progressive" fascistic IMF is the evil culprit, not the taxpayers.

Ireland should bill the EU for the money it spends of migrants from other EU countries, places like Latvia, Lithuania etc. The cost of just one thing--the education of children from these countries and teaching them English--accounts for hundreds of millions of euros. It is Irish taxpayers who have been picking up this tab for the past decade or more, and they're sick of it. Ireland has never received even one word of thanks for this from the governments of places such as Lithuania, Poland etc., nor from the EU hierarchy itself.
