Nothing as humiliating to an Irish citizen than to have to witness the regular visitation of an IMF team to inspect government accounts. So much for democracy. Finance and economics supercede, particularly when the state has been bankrupted by casino capitalist bankers, and their political apologists. Go after the fat cats - Howlin!

If they think they will get away with messing with Irish pensioners again then they have another think coming !! The pensioners of Ireland are the backbone of what made the country what it is and will be again, and pensioners will not take it sitting down.
