Government to invite more vultures and Cuckoo Funds into Ireland to feed on the remains of the carcass of Generation Rent. It’s the ultimate act of betrayal by a Govt against an entire generation. Abhorrent! Unacceptable!

Imagine a business so profitable that you actually have to go out at a government level to entice investors….
is this pot calling kettle black?
the citizens of ireland love capitalism and the free market. We buy iphones, coca cola, have private pensions etc. We dont like socialism. yet when the government goes to the free market/capitalism to fund housing we shout stop!!!
im all for socialism. i think people should get to a level in life where they get a certain amount of luxuries, and after that their wealth should be surrendered to people that need it. why should Mr. X have a 200euro bottle of wine when he would nearly just be as happy with a 7 euro bottle of wine and that 193 euro difference could help society. why do some people need big country mansions when a 4 bed semi is sufficent.
OMG- you are north american then- nyc where everyone posts vids of stylish and what inspired their look- while living in the same space as your kitchen- with the same washing appliances- OMG.
D-troll, have you been on the sauce?
I don’t want the world. I just want your half.
It’s cheaper, and more profitable, to get the slaves to house themselves – 20th century thinking – a response to a century of rebellion, of which, our country, and many others, were born.
21st century thinking – Let’s go back to the way things were now that we’ve crushed all rebelliousness and sedition.
… so woe betide 22nd Century thinking?*
* If the future generations can actually think for themselves – why do you think philosophy has rarely been taught in primary or secondary education on most continents?
Rosette, what’s half of something? Is it nothing? Is it a fraction?
If I have a cow but no food to feed the cow or my family, and you have no cow, but you have food to feed my cow – what should I do?
That was Saturday’s Daily Mail.
Jono, corporations use lines of credit, not money, to buy houses & Wall St is buying up existing stocks of houses, not building new ones. The interest rates on the credit are almost zero but access is not open to everyone. The Great Crash of ’07, though it was caused by financial institutions, ended up restricting access to credit & only the people who caused the crash can now access it.
These conditions are what our slimeball politicians are capitalising on. They bailed out the banks, now they’re dealing them in, with the obscenity of Charitable Status being bestowed on some of these vile bloodsuckers.
It’s astonishing to think that there’s people with children who’ll actually vote for FFFG at the next election, the idiots.
Rent a pod, eat the bugs, the future has never looked boomier.

Keep it classy FG-ers
Trickle-down economics.
Trickle-on economics.
Look up. Listen. Learn.
This will inevitably end in violence.
All threads should end in this comment.
Bit late aren’t they
The Vultures aka Hedge Funds and Private Equity Shops

yeah, I know I ‘ve been promising to write it up for ages. I just keep getting waylaid. But for now, I can draw a direct line to where we are now right back to Ml Noonan’s decisions in 2009 and 2010. Stay tuned, V
