    May we all be filled with blessings. Pray for bright weather, but carry an umbrella. If somebody sneezes, say Bless You.

    The Irish Times still confused about Brexit.
    The workers collective of left-wing dung beetles hanging around whatever turds their government spin doctors feed them.
    It’s going to happen and there’s sod all they can do about it.
    Here’s a few home truths from the oldest printed magazine in the world – not that you’ll ever read facts like this in the Irish media.
    These scribbling cretins let Ireland down when the country was being shafted by the Troika and they’re still letting Liability Leo get away with it now.
    This country deserves better than the media dross they have.

      …don’t you mean the (London) Times in Ireland…first rule of propoganda is you never believe your own press releases…

        Busted can you not see the border runs between northern Ireland part of UK and republic of Ireland part of EU
        The solution lies with the EU and The UK
        Its pretty simple really
        Sadly our leadership are immune to the reality of brexit and what can and will happen if they stand back like they did when the crash happened
        Remember what ever the EU do to destroy the UK with a FU UK
        It will rebound on us

          I see that Rees Mogg is all on for a return to the easy going, relaxed border from the days of “the troubles”.

          And people think this guy is worth following? Deluded barely comes close.

          1. ReproButina

            You have a typical Tory grasp of Irish affairs. A return to the border would be the greatest gift an Irish Republican could wish for. Ár lá could be tiocfaidhing sooner than we thought!

      Talk of a no deal Sasamach = weak Sterling
      Weak Sterling = strong exports

      It’s not rocket science which is just as well given all the funding the UK’s scientists will be losing.

      1. Ollie Cromwell

        Finally you grasp basic economics.
        Mind you the fact that exports have boomed even while sterling has strengthened seems to have missed your hamster brain.
        Back to those Wolfe Tone records Beret Boy.

      Ollie, old bean, the deal is done. It’s signed sealed and delivered. Guess what ?, you were right: Ireland gets fupped. There will be a border. The UK, also gets fupped. Norway lite. Germany doesn’t get fupped. It compensates Ireland till the dozy inbred Unionists cop themselves on. That’s possibly the best thing for this island in the long term. And the only thing that could have stopped the 1,000 year reign, the UK and Ireland together, has been destroyed by idiot English men. Enjoy your flag.

    Digicel Deathwatch Update-” Fitch Downgrades Digicel to ‘B-‘; Outlook Negative”

    Liquidity is key-the ability to meet its debt payments, dividends are in rear view mirror at this point.

    “Fitch considers the company’s liquidity to be inadequate, given the small cash cushion relative to debt burden and the persistently negative FCF. Digicel’s total unadjusted debt stands at USD 6.8 billion, having increased from USD 6.4 billion YoY. At the same time, Digicel held readily available cash equivalent to USD158 million, significantly lower than its historical levels. Interest expenses of USD456 million in FY2018 were almost 50% of EBITDA, and upcoming interest payments will further pressure Digicel’s liquidity position. The company faces a series of principal debt maturities each year from 2020-2022, which represents significant refinancing risk.”

      Frilly-its a bit like the catholic church-nothing but bad news and a steady decline in revenues with expenses increasing.
      Digi has started selling 1 dollar pre paids as no one wants go long on the 10 dollar ones :)
      IT floated some truly WTF plan involving a unencumbered company generating significant cash, but more and more ‘alternatives’ to simply paying back its debts will be floated-its truly the end when these types harebrained schemes start getting reported on-mind you its Brennan in the IT so..
      It will be fascinating to observe how the various media outlets in Irl deal/treat Digi’s imminent default.

    More predictable than facinating
    I’d say

    But none of that set up,
    or any of their connections
    owe me any money
    n’ I’m not on a promise wi’ any ov’em either

    So
    Tis all the one really
    Unless stuff comes up for sale
    Cheap like
    Then I might take a gander

      The Irish hack for Bloomberg probably covers Digi best,Indo simply doesn’t report on it.Malone may be a buyer off bits and pieces,possibly even INM he has the capital,but maybe issues with how much Irish media he’d control.
      It was DOB’s primary cash cow for many years,there’s no chance of any fees/dividends.His stripping the companies of cash over past few years,won’t sit well with the bond holders-Digi needs a major and significant debt restructuring to have any chance but more likely its broken up,with DOB trying restart in Pacific and waking away from Caribbean.
