Not so fast.
Via the IMF:
“In its flagship World Economic Outlook report, the Washington-based body cut its expectations for global growth to 3.3 percent this year and 3.8 percent next year.

The IMF has now cut its current-year growth forecasts nine out of 12 times in the last three years as it consistently overestimated how quickly richer countries would be able to pull free from high debt and unemployment in the wake of the global financial crisis in 2007-2009″.
Oh.

“Young Hearts Run Free have been putting on fine music and literary events in alternative spaces for a few years now and this weekend, they’re putting on a mini-festival in venues like Marsh’s Library, National Concert Hall, Bello Bar and Molloy & Dowling’s that will include music, talks, lectures, DJ sets, musical trails and more.
Bill Drummond will be giving a lecture, Pat Collins will be discussing his film work, John Osborne will perform John Peel’s Shed, there will be music from Katie Kim and Adrian Crawley among others and comedy from Foil, Arms and Hog. Have a look at the schedule and make your own choice. As ever all proceeds go to the Simon Community.”
