Simple explanation .The Brits think if they are out of the EU that they will do better economically as they can do trade deals with the rest of the world on their terms and not the EUs .But the problem is they want to continue doing tax free trade with the rest of the EU without paying the entry fee or sticking to the rules .The EU are going to Crucify Britain ,if they let them do what they want then ,Germany and France and Italy will also leave .When the Brits leave we are fucked more than half of our food and drink exports go to Britain and a lot passes through Briton .So after the Brits leave the WTO rules apply to them that means they have to pay and charge duty on imports and exports so Irish milk and meat will be to expensive so British Farmers will grow more to fill the gap .This will apply to all sorts of stuff if we import from the UK we will have to charge them the WTO tarriff so food and anything we import from them will be more expensive .IF or WHEN the Brits leave if its a hard Brexit we will be bankrupt in three months unless the ECB or IMF bail us out AGAIN.

Look up a private firm called QinetiQ.

Capital Group fascinates me....Teresa May's husband is a major shareholder in it, which in itself is a major shareholder in BAE, which provided millions worth of missiles in the recent bombing of Syria...........Follow the money as Lester said in The Wire.
We need look no further than a certain man in court at the mo here for subterfuge..........he got away with it with The Duke of Inishvickillane et al..............

Listen to the words of the poem recited by Luke Kelly.for what died the sons of Roisen
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame?
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame?
For what flowed Irelands blood in rivers,
That began when Brian chased the Dane,
And did not cease nor has not ceased,
With the brave sons of ´16,
For what died the sons of Róisín, was it fame?
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed?
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed?
Was it greed that drove Wolfe Tone to a paupers death in a cell of cold wet stone?
Will German, French or Dutch inscribe the epitaph of Emmet?
When we have sold enough of Ireland to be but strangers in it.
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed?
To whom do we owe our allegiance today?
To whom do we owe our allegiance today?
To those brave men who fought and died that Róisín live again with pride?
Her sons at home to work and sing,
Her youth to dance and make her valleys ring,
Or the faceless men who for Mark and Dollar,
Betray her to the highest bidder,
To whom do we owe our allegiance today?
For what suffer our patriots today?
For what suffer our patriots today?
They have a language problem, so they say,
How to write “No Trespass” must grieve their heart full sore,
We got rid of one strange language now we are faced with many, many more,
For what suffer our patriots today?

Well, the lads holed up in Boland's Mills and those lying unloved in Glasnevin would agree with those sentiments. I don't know who said it but the Vietnam Vets would concur, I'd say........"No country is worth dying for...you'll be soon forgotten".

The Times might agree.........
Ireland is the biggest “tax haven” in the world used by multinationals to shelter profits, according to a new study by economists from the United States and Denmark.
The research from academics at the University California, Berkeley and the University of Copenhagen estimates that foreign multinationals shifted $106 billion (€90 billion) of corporate profits to Ireland in 2015.
This was more than all of the islands of the Caribbean combined ($97 billion/€83 billion), and well ahead of Singapore ($70 billion/€60 billion), Switzerland ($58 billion/€49 billion) and the Netherlands ($57 billion/€48 billion), according to the researchers.
“By our estimates, Ireland is the number one shifting destination,” the paper states.
The Department of Finance last night rejected as “overly simplistic” much of the findings made in relation to the Republic in the paper – The Missing Profits of Nations – authored by economists Gabriel Zucman, Thomas Torslov and Ludvig Wier. The department also rejected the notion that the Republic is a tax haven.
The research paper estimates that $1.7 trillion (€1.45 trillion) of foreign profits were made by multinationals, primarily from the US, in 2015 and that almost 40 per cent of this total was shifted to tax havens.
US multinationals
The authors defined “tax haven” using a list of nations drawn up in 1993 by prominent US tax academics, James Hines and Eric Rice. They added Belgium and the Netherlands to the 1993 list.
The researchers homed in on the high level of profits declared in the State by US multinationals, relative to their numbers of employees here. The paper claims US companies declare $8 of profit in the Republic for every $1 spent here on wages.
This, the authors say, is about 16 times the average for “non tax havens”. They claim the apparently turbo-charged profitability-per-head in the State is down to the huge volume of profits shifted to this jurisdiction from abroad.
The research estimates that profit shifting by multinationals costs tax authorities globally about $200 billion (€170 billion), and reduces by 20 per cent the taxes paid in the European Union by multinationals.
The paper considers the relatively high share of national income in Ireland attributed to corporate tax, which the authors put at more than 5 per cent in 2015, behind Malta at 8 per cent and Luxembourg at 7 per cent.
“Until the 1990s, Ireland used to collect relatively little corporate tax revenue, about 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent of national income – significantly less than the US,” the paper says.
“Then, as profit shifting surged, so did tax collection: since the mid 1990s, Ireland has collected significantly more corporate tax revenue (as a fraction of national income) than the US – about twice as much in 2015.”
Overly simplistic
The Department of Finance last night said “it is overly simplistic and totally inaccurate to simply examine the number of employees in a country and assert what amounts of corporate tax should be paid in each country on that basis”.
“The concept of value creation considers a much wider range of factors and looks at all types of activity and assets that create value in a business,” the department said.
“Ireland is not a ‘tax haven’ and does not meet any of the international standards for being considered such,” the department said.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an intergovernmental club for rich countries, says Ireland does not meet the definition of a tax haven.
OECD officials have said tax havens are countries with “a zero tax rate, no transparency or exchange of information, and [where multinationals have] no real operations on the ground”.
Speaking in Germany this week, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis claimed Ireland was a tax haven “free-riding” on the rest of Europe.

Lip a lot of people dont understand the Brits always took our side in EU debates without them we are fucked .Macron wull butt fuck Leo but not in a nice way .

The UK are a bigger tax haven and center for money laundering they always had our back but now the EU especially the French are going to play the unity card .Listen Leo we stood with you united against the UK over the border issue now you must reciprocate and stand as one with the rest of the EU with a unified corporate tax rate .If you dont then we will come after you with billions of Euro in fines .The IRISH ARE THIEVING LOWLIFE TAX CHEATING SCUM and what pisses the Rest of Europe off is we dont even keep the money we robbed we only enable the most profitable companies on earth to fill their pockets .

I hope they screw us because if they do,then the money people might see no great benefit in remaining part of that dictatorship called the EU ,,and I might just get my wish of leave leave leave, and the return of the Irish national identity ,and return of soverignty to our people and most of all control of our borders

What national identity ?Turf burning drunken debauchery .Without the EU we would be poorer than most other post colonial islands like Haiti.Dominican Republic ,Cuba we dont even have Sun .We only prosper because of our membership of the EU Befor we joined the EU our leading export was our people .Probably explains a lot all the clever ones left and the dummies that were left ran the government and the banks and ran the country into the ground .If I was Taoiseach I would have a word with Tessy May and see if we defaulted on our ECB loans would Tessy pay off the rest and loan us a few quid to keep the country running if we left with them .That would solve their border issue .A Hard Brexit and the EU putting in the boot and Donny T threatening tarriffs on US companies who manufacture outside the States and we will be back in the Chapel praying that the potato harvest dosent fail again ,we will be bolloxed .Irish identity is we are sucking parasites dependent on other peoples good will .We only make sandwiches ,Shite and Guinness a bit of meat and a Rock Band .Look around your house how many things in your home are Irish made look in your fridge how much of your food is irish produced .
-
John I said it before .I agree from a economic point of view that you are right,but none of those economic benefits mean more to me then to feel Irish again.I am sick of hearing foreign voices everywhere I go.im sick of looking at foreigners being housed,while our own lie in doorways,im sick of competing for my living with people who,in some cases cannot even speak English,and none of whom are properly vetted,im sick of free speech being curtailed for fear of being chastised by the PC brigade etc etc
-
Dollymount .Do you refuse to carry non Irish passengers ?
-
No ,but that is another feature of the Irish.with an Irishman,and particularly a Dubliner,your sure of a tip,or being told to keep the change.not so with foreigners.those misarable bastards wait for every cent of change,yet they expect tips when working in their restraunts

A barrel of oil is worth about $70
The same barrel is worth about €2,600 if it was filled with white fish fillet
We gave away billions upon billions of our fish stock, which are now in danger of getting completely wiped out.
From grossly overfishing by greedy unscrupulous EU trawlers breaking every rule in the book.
A total free for all out there what used to be our fishing grounds.
No one out there to police regulation.
Exit the EU cesspit Now.
-
don't forget about the half trillion euros worth of oil and gas the arseholes running this country gave away for free.

You're both right.
However there were many Willie McBrides and probably almost as many relevant commemorative songs/poems. Both Nationalists and Unionists saw the potential for political capital in supporting the crown during WW1 as implementation of home rule had been suspended for the duration. Both the 16th Irish Division and the 36th Ulster Division suffered significant losses at the Somme, for example. Depending on your viewpoint the UVF - which essentially comprised the 36th although, strange as it may seem, there were some "Sinn Feiners" among them - were ultimately rewarded with the 6 counties or were robbed of 3 counties for their efforts.

People beginning to wake up IMF say we will need another bailout after a hard Brexit .The Gay Foreigner thinks we should stockpile drugs just in case. As I said before GET A GUN reduce your debt and if you can get a 9 to 5 minimum wage public service job .

Brexit will not happen.

Brexit will not happen.
Not the way the Brits think it will .In 9 months they are in or out .My money is on Out they are deluded they think the word Great in their name means something .Im hoping to buy a car in the Ul next April when the £ sterling collapses to about one for one with the Euro .If Brexit happens Ireland will be fucked as I said reduce your dept and GET A GUN .
-
Brexit will not happen.
Well certainly not in the timeframe that's being bandied about,
I've had passengers...mostly foreign...ask how will brexit affect me.....i just say....haven't a fukin clue....cos the politicians can't even agree on a strategy....it's all ifs,buts and maybes....what's their latest mantra..."nothing is agreed till everything is agreed,
@ermy....John,you can pull as many ifs,buts,ands and maybes out of your own hole...and i have no doubt some of them will materialise....cos you seem to cover every possible base with your theories...and then you'll tell us you told us so!!
-
Brexit WILL happen and the reason is simple its the return to the old order the aristos now called bankers own everything the middle class now called managers run it for them and the working class now called them lot pay for everything .Before 1900 the working class owned nothing only their muscel power and Dicks which gave them the ability to breed more workers we are going back there nobody can afford a home .This generation for the first time probably in modern history will be poorer than their parents .That Divide is Huge in Britain ,Notyhren England or Jeremy Kyle Country is nearly as poor as rural India .Look at European History over the last 100 years .Russian Revolution,Spanish Civil War ,Bosnia ,Britain has been a reasonably stable country since Cromwell its just its their time for a revolution .Human Nature insists on turmoil to evolve .GET A GUN .

Need to replace the car , Big difference in what you spend if your doing full time or part time .With cost of vehicle ,Fuel ,Insurance you cant really survive part time and I dont have the patience to sit on Heuston for an hour for a tenner or pay 12% commission on a 7.20 fare .As long as I keep the car and licenced I can always give up the day job if it dosent suit .
-
I couldn't imagine you need much John....kids reared,corpo gaff well and truly paid for...no car loans.

Erm ya need to meet a like-minded driver who will share theirs/your taxi to keep down overheads.
Alternatively, you could rent for 6/7/8 months take in a bag of sand maybe more.... then take off the remaining months to go on the dole.I think it would work but you would be under pressure while you have the rental.
Or buy a secondhand Dacia and take a chance.

im fed up with people saying IF brexit goes ahead. the British people voted for it,and its not up to their elected representitives to interfere with the will of the electorite . cunts like Tony Blair, and others just cannot seem to accept what the people voted for.. a simple solution for Ireland is, to ALSO withdraw from that fukking dictatorship. the only people who want us to remain are, well healed politicans who enjoy European, and sate pensions, and big business men who want to avail of the cheap imported labour from estern Europe. Geldoff, who is not even British, had the fukking cheek to challenge Nigel Farage on the river themes some time ago over his desire to leave, the EU a matter for the British people alone, accepted a knighthood from the British queen, and then criticisedthe leadership of the 1916 rising

There is another thing we sometimes overlook.During the last recession there was no ten year rule.If the test stays the way it is and all vehicle rules are kept as they are we might not be so overrun with cabs during the next downturn.
Brexit aside we'll be due another recession in a few years anyway.It's coming.What goes up must come down.Yer gonna be fukked whatever path you choose.Buy some lube and enjoy the ride Ermy.

How much extra did ye have to borrow to move back to the posh suburb of Cabra?
-
Nothing Hal.The difference between the gaffs will mostly be spent on fixing the current kip up.I did borrow more but gave it back to the bank.I think the fukkers think I'm money laundering..Hopefully mortgage free in 5/8 years.Then I'll buy an S class...or a plug for me Leaf.

They all say that until you peel away at the veneer. So many Dubs I've met at matches, especially on away days, all say the same thing...initially, Everything is in Dublin...everything from best doctors to hospitals. The boom made the move seem less disruptive, I suppose, but most would agree they'd rather be where it's at and that's Dublin. The same thing is happening again now and the same result will unfold............

Having lived in several cities in Europe..........it's far from uncivilised, but yes, it is where everything starts and ends.......even the thickest Wessht of Ireland dweeb ends up on a slab there if his demise is supsicious. Try London for uncivilised...

You're clearly referring to yourself LL.....i can answer for me!

When I lived on the edge of Dublin you drove everywhere.Two cars per house is normal.Kids getting driven a little 10 mins walk from the house to school.That's why traffic is so shit for everyone.Public transport isnt great or efficient.You could be on the bus for over an hour off peak getting into town.
Now where I am walking to the shop,off-licence,chipper or dentist isn't a big ordeal. If I have to I can cheaply get to the city center if I wanna eat/drink out.
Everytime I get some elderly culchie coming up to Dublin to see some super amazing consultant I remember how much we have it good in Dublin.I've picked up oulwans in their 70s/80s coming up from Kerry/Mayo on the train to see specialists in Matter/Vincents.Ya don't wanna HAVE to have a car when you get old. They're expensive hobbies unless you've got a generous pension.
It's not for everyone but you need to try both to realise the difference.

Not referring to meself Hal and I know you can answer for you, but my experience of Dubs moving away from their home-place is that they project a false sense of a rural idyll which only exists in Barbara Taylor Bradford books. The reality of life in rural Ireland is more truly reflected in Edna O'Brien's or Patrick Kavanagh's writings. Guarantee you when you were bent over the head-gasket of your vintage jammer the twitching windows brigade were able to tell if you'd changed your boxers from yesterday's etc etc.

Lip a lot of people dont understand the Brits always took our side in EU debates without them we are fucked .Macron wull butt fuck Leo but not in a nice way .
There is a nice way to butt fuck somebody....who knew

Leo is busy hanging himself with the cervical smear thingy now. John. The AG must be pulling their hair out listening to him talking nonsense about bypassing the courts. If this ever happens, it's a terrifying day for the taxpayer and ALL males.....you'll be locked away for life without a woman ever testifying......
-
Leo is the bugger loving spawn of the Devil he has conned the whole country .Next con is to remove the women's place in the home from the constitution .This allowed single mothers ,widows divorcees to claim lone parents by relying on this article to say they had the right to stay home and rear their kids .Joan of Nark amended this by saying as soon as the child was 7 you must return to work .Now the Gay child hating Foreigner wants to go further and remove women's rights from the constitution and replace them with free liberal gender neutral laws that will remove a woman's rights .This will mean that pension age for women will be raised to that of men .Lone parent payments will be done away with .you can see the foundation for this with the suggestion that Grandparents should get coin for minding their grand kids if their own kids are at work .This country has lurched so far to the Right our Capital City is nearly in 1930s Berlin .Gay Rights .Abortion Rights Equality all designed to lump us all together as serfs .
-
Seems to me Leo wants everyone on the dole and not working, John....the only ones who can't afford anything are the 2 kid couples earning less than 40k each. There's a whole class of folks out there who never worked getting everything for nothing and now they're coming for your gaff if you've a spare room. It's liberal fascism........neo-con style.
-
The dole is a thing of the past .1980 your hen claimed lone parents he claimed his dole .She got a corpo gaff for a £5 a week he moved in so she had a book he had the dole and did a bit .She took the ESB and Gas bill up to the relieving officer and also got free schoolbooks and schoolclothes .If the kid was clwver they got free 3rd level and the oulone continued to claim lone parents and childrens allowance .Young Norbert was really clever so applied for Grants or burseries and stayed in College until he was 34 and got his Phd .He studied masterbation in African Fruitflies .Armed with his Phd Doctor Norbert signed on and along with his dole he got a rent allowance and sat on the dole until he was 66 then got his pension ,medical card and applied to the EU for a grant to write a book on Fruitflies got 180K for his studies so headed off to Nirobi for two years with some dusky beauty then heads home writes the book gets an artists exemption on tax and does the Radio circuit discussing Fle Wanking with Ray Darcy and Sean Moncrief so from the day he was concieved by a mother on the dole til lthe day somebody applied for a death grant to bury him he never contributed a cent .Now why the fuck would anybody work for minimum wage when all this was available .Leo wants to remove the welfare state to encourage people who know better to take upslave labour
-
Ennio Morricone on Spitify has me brain addled. The dole is being phased out into credits, John. Points will be awarded if you help around the community etc...Big Data it is called.
And, yes, you're right...Leo wants you working in Dealz etc....helping the auldears carry the Tena Pads to the Picanto.
-
The death of the welfare state will be used as a deterent to stop the inflow of migrants into Europe .If you actually have to work for anything you get then there is nothing to come for unless you really want to work As soon as the Brits go then expect a universal tax rate and probably a European minimum wage agreement.You read reports that employment is now back to 07 levels but average wages are down 7% or 13% in real terms excluding rent increases which in reality mean that the average person working today has about 20% less disposable income than they had in 2007 .People in work now are earning less than they did ten years ago that means the governments take has gone down so spending on Pensions ,welfare ,schools ,Hospitals infrastructure on paper have gone up but only as a % of the tax take .I pity the poor ignorant bastards whoare now borrowing money to buy a gaff the ECB will have to match the Fed sooner or later to attract investors to deposit money in European banks wont be long before the average mortgage interest rate hits 6% and we are back in recession give it 5 years at most .In my Santy letter this year Imasking Santy Clause for a Gun .The last time they increased the Pension age cut grants and benifits slashed the dole the next recession there will be no option but to tax the rich and middle class and unlike the poor them cunts wont stand for it .

Dollymount Ireland Inc is a parasitic wastteland designed to be exploited by big business and moronic republicans who believe it is a country .We are fucking beggers as a country no better than the street urchin who tries to tap you up for a few Euro .We as a country are parasites run by probably the best Spongers on earth who parade as an Irish Government .We survived as a Free State on handouts fron our British Pastmasters then we begged to be allowed in to the EEC and were refused on many occasions until they had to let us in because the Brits wanted in and we shared a border with them now that has come back to haunt the EU .As soon as we got membership of the Common Market and development money was available FF /FG/Lab all decided to draw down that money and use it as collatteral to borrow more to build big housing estates for their voters and new roads for their voters and subsidise their voting farmers in parts of the country where they couldnt buy votes with council houses ,but the morons for got that the part of the money borrowed had to be repaid .So income tax went up to over 50% interest rates on Mortgages to 18% Bertie realized there was no more money to be borrowed by the government so he encouraged people to borrow money themselves and buy gaffs and cars and send their kids to private schools and Ibiza .Dollymount this country is a Ponzy scheme based on mooching cheating and fiddling .Apple were just declared the first company to be worth a Trillion that makes them 5 times more valuable than all of Irelands GDP but our government helped them to rob other people and the silly cunts handed the money they fiddled right back to Apple .I love your idea that old Ireland was a grand place before the EU .Men drank Guinness and rode fuck out of the missus and kept her like a farrowing pig feeding kids all her life .Most men earned not enough to feed their families and couldnt wait to have enough hair on their mickey to be old enough to fuck off to England or the USA .If you did have a job then two rooms in a tenement was bliss .Dollymount the Irish Character is not Red headed women with freckles dancing to some lad wearing a Bawneed Sweater playing the Tin Whistle or the Fiddle. Give up your romantic misunderstanding of what it means to be Irish and embrace the reality Being Irish means being a cute whore who knows how the game is played and playing it without anybody ever knowing you are a player .When Paddy arrived in Ellis Island the first thing he did was get organised get into Politics Chicago was run by the Irish for the Irish .Paddy joined the police while the Italian was robbing the kip Paddy was getting backhanders a wage and a pension .The longer he was in the cops the higher he went in the organisation the bigger the backhanders while the bigger the mobster got the more likely he was to get whacked by the next kid on the block who Paddy got coin off to look after .Dollymount the irish are among the most successful people on earth and our biggest trick is to make people like us ,In what universe do you think Ireland would ever leave the EU and go back to the past where we couldnt even grow a field of Spuds .Me dog who I paid a few ton for is lying on the bed looking out the window after finishing his breakfast while im watching the BBC news and the story is the London Borough of Tower Hamlets yes London one of the Great Cities of the world today will launch free meals for kids to overcome holiday food poverty as these kids are missing out on free school meals .If you ever read Mr Charles Dickens Oliver Twist you might stumble upon the Character Fagan the most successful of the band of robbers any coincidence he had an Irish Surname

Steady on John,,,,,,,,,,Fagin was a jew...you're thinking of Fagan, the fella who broke into the Queen's gaff. The Irish were plundering and screwing America long before the Mafia was conceived....that's why the joined and eventually took over the cops.
Nedser and Boss Croker and the lads ran the gaff long before Giancana and Castellano, or Costello as the cops called him. The Italians considered the Micks to be too unscrupulous so they edged them out and then they entered politics.........Sam Giancana or Mooney as he was known, was shafted by Joe Kennedy so he took his revenge in other ways.....

Last month the Central Statistics Office (CSO) published the annual national accounts for the Republic. An inevitable consequence of the globalised nature of this economy is that they do not provide a clear picture of what is happening: as discussed in earlier articles we need significant additional data to understand just how fast the economy is growing.
The headline GDP figures suggest that the Irish economy grew by about 7 per cent last year, while gross national income GNI suggested a growth rate of 4.5 per cent. By contrast, the new adjusted measure GNI grew by only 3 per cent in current prices, and probably less in constant prices.
The Central Bank in its latest Quarterly, published earlier this week, refers to these problems, saying it is “difficult to analyse adequately fundamental questions such as the current cyclical position of the economy or the extent to which growth is being driven by domestic or external factors”.
The inevitable difficulties in reading the economy’s runes cause problems for policymakers in understanding what is really going on
Nonetheless, the Central Bank, building on a growth figure for 2017 of 4.5 per cent, expects that the economy will continue to grow at over 4 per cent into next year. This “feels” right given the rapid growth in employment. However, it is a bit like driving in a thunderstorm. We know there is a road in front of us, but we can’t really see it.
Partly reflecting this uncertainty, the Central Bank, the ESRI, Fiscal Advisory Council and the Department of Finance are all recommending great caution in the next budget – it should plan for a government surplus in 2019.
The inevitable difficulties in reading the economy’s runes cause problems for policymakers in understanding what is really going on.
The National Competitiveness Council on Wednesday expressed its concern about Ireland’s vulnerability to changes by a few very large companies. It rightly pointed to our heavy dependence on a handful of firms for the size of tax revenue, referring to the fact that five companies account for 40 per cent of our exports.
Large companies
However, a fuller reading of the available CSO data would suggest a rather different picture. While the National Competitiveness Council is right to say a few large companies account for a large share of our recorded exports, some of these are goods manufactured in the Far East and sold on world markets, with Ireland not even being a stopover.
For these goods, and much of the other exports of foreign multinationals (MNEs), there is very little value added in Ireland, and their impact on the real economy is low and much smaller than their face value.
The CSO’s Institutional Sector Accounts provide very valuable information on the impact on the economy of large MNEs. The 50 largest such firms account for around 5 per cent of Net National Income (the best measure of the economic welfare of those living in Ireland). The remaining smaller foreign MNEs account for a further 10 per cent of the economy. Thus, while clearly important to Ireland the top multinationals are really a small fraction of our economy.
Ireland’s vulnerability to changes in behaviour of MNEs lies more in the fact that 80 per cent of corporation tax receipts, amounting to around 3.5 per cent of adjusted national income, comes from MNEs. As a range of bodies, including the Department of Finance, have stressed, this is where Ireland’s true vulnerability lies.
As Brexit ructions rock the UK, last week it emerged the British government was making plans to ensure continued access to drugs made in Ireland and other EU countries after it has left. However, there is little danger of a sudden stop in these exports – if necessary the RAF will deliver them. Rather the vulnerability of Irish exports to Brexit is predominantly a challenge for domestic firms, not for high-tech MNEs.
Imbalances
The current account of the balance of payments ought to be a crucial indicator of whether there are serious imbalances in the economy – it reflects the difference between what we earn and what we pay abroad. In the run-up to the economic crisis it showed a huge deficit, which in 2006-2007 should have been a red light for policymakers.
However, as with the national accounts, the current account balance is today heavily distorted by transactions involving aircraft leasing and foreign-owned intellectual property, as a result showing a huge surplus that bears no relation to reality.
To deal with this problem the CSO have published an adjusted measure excluding the distorting items. The result shows a small balance of payments surplus for 2016 and 2017, suggesting that economic growth to date is real and sustainable. This adjusted measure is a valuable addition to our understanding of what is going on in the economy.
40% of all our exports by 5 companies .Wait till the Brits who always had our backs leave the EU then Macron ,Merkel will beat the shit out of us with universal credits and tax rates .The bog of Allan and Skellig Michael will be populated with refugees and the Gay Foreigner or his successors will get headage allowances from the EU for taking them in .We took the German Mark back in the 70s just like we took the Kings Shilling in the 18 hundreds .if we had the balls for it and were not afraid of upsetting the Yanks we should welcome in the Chinease and give them the same access we afforded the Yanks into the European markets .This country is in for the shock of their lives when the Old Enemy the Brits are gone and replaced by our Friends the French and Germans .

Just accept that there are very clever people being paid fortunes to make sure this all happens....much cleverer than you or I and far better adjusted to the fallout. If you have your health and you can bang out a buck.....keep going and let the lunatics take over the asylum. Big money dictates global governmental policies....not politicians.
-
Your right lippy,but I bet they never figured on the challenge the far right are presenting them with. Thank Christ for Trump, lePenn,Garage, Organ,etc
-
Anyone now not agreeing with the Greens in Europe is called a member of the far right....the Shinners are a member of the umbrella group in the E.U. too....as is Luke "No Problem, Hun" Flanagan..think you'll find the whole shebang is a think-tank for Marxists with the Queen of commies running the show....Angela Merkel.

The Far right V the Far Left no different Dollymount .Do this little experiment .Stand upface the palm of your hands straight in front of you so you can see your lnuckles .Now move both your arms behind your back keeping your hands in the same position .You will not be able to make your hands touch behind your back becaus the far right and far left are totally different ........... Now this time give a little not a lot just rotate your wrist so the palm of your hands are facing down twords the floor now move both your arms behind your back and this time you willbe able to clasp your hands .The difference between the Far right and the far left is much less that you think they are both on the exact same roundabout just coming at it from different directions but the destination is still the same they want to control you .As I sai in another post learn the rules of play and if possible dont let anybody else know your playing .As the Lip says big business calls the shots .In what universe would Joan Collind ,Healy Wray .Ross Lowery Gay Leos opinions be worth a fuck

Last word on this before me eyes shut...the master behind the E.U. was Josef Goebbels....1932 was when he said this:

Last word on this before me eyes shut...the master behind the E.U. was Josef Goebbels....1932 was when he said this:
Big question,
Who do you want to be controlled by,
No way would I be happy with the dictators in Brussels,
Angela Merkel who was born behind the Iron Curtain she is a close buddy of Vladimir Putin who worked in Eastern Germany as a KGB officer still not to be trusted, She has destroyed Europe with our open door policy allowing people that believe in a toxic ideology to flow in in their hundreds of thousands, bringing their culture that does not fit with our Western Way of Life,
There is No place for Islam in Ireland.
We have the benefit of seeing what's happening in the UK,
Women of Ireland wake up.
The more numbers the Muzzies build up, The more powerful they will get, although they don't believe in democracy,
The only way to rule the Western world is to play us at our own game,Is to get into government, as is already happening in the UK,
And the hippie snowflake lefties are helping them, believing everything is lovely.
By telling us that multiculturalism and diversity will benefit our Society and make our country a better place.
WELL I DON'T THINK SO,
The most frustrating part is this Kip is run by lefties, No one on the horizon to vote for,
You don't have to read a paper to see what way our country is going,
Just open your eyes,
Look who's taking over the taxi game
Who would have thought it tune out this way,
But my views will entitled me to be called a far right supporter,
And a racist, because I don't believe in open borders, we should have the right to choose who we allow and don't allow into our country,
Don't be naive to think that the fat cats in Brussels are concerned about your welfare and your quality of life,
We should follow the Brits and get to fuck out, not the perfect solution, but better than what we have.
-
Lads lads lads we're only taxi drivers.Check yer oil levels and don't be stressing about stuff you can't change.Because we are just taxi drivers nobody gives a fuk what we really think.I'd say yisser dogs haven't been fed or walked in days.Golfish probably died months ago..
-
We might e taxi drivers,but we are taxi drivers who have a voice,and a vote.we have as much right to express our views as any CEO or pokitian,in the country
-
That's great expressing an oddball opinion but if any politician or Ceo said some of the stuff you lads post they'd be fecked out on their holes and on the scratcher.So not all opinions are equal.Just saying.... sometimes I think you lads are trying to brainwash the rest of us with yer mad off the wall drink yer own piss brand of crazy.Keep it up it just makes yis look more nuts.
-
Impossible to brainwash you Merc.....you're too cosy....just chill and laugh at us retards.......... rofl

Think Merc is one of the few who plays the game and dosent update the internet on his score .Dont think he bought a bankmanagers house on couriers wages .

Top man Merc,
Its obviously gone over your head , no surprise there,
if a politician was to have the balls to say some of the stuff that is said on here you might be surprised at the amount of votes he would get,
But that's the problem,
Why would any politician upset his cosy lifestyle big fat salary going into the bank, big immoral pension to look forward to,
Just keep the hair down,
And bring the dog for a walk,
After the goldfish are fed.

Understanding how not to understand ...Tommy Atkins voted for brexit as he has a pain in his boys bag with all the foreigners in England .He is down the Pub with his old School buddy Malcolm drinking Stella Artois and munching on a Kebab .He is all dressed up in his new Man United Ganzee "We got a few nice new lads this season Mourinio is the bollox signed Fred hear he is looking a Van Derflootpuller from Axaj and Muganwasswass the Nigerian Centerhalf .
-
ta see merc . now we are getting somewhere.the difference between Trump, and other politicians is, he calls it as he sees it.politics is a game. and how you play is, you develope the art of appeasement. you find out what people you represent want, and you align yourself with that view, and then take the credit for achieving whatever the objective is even if you dont secretly agree with it. take Eamon Ryan for instance the time yer man Hallawa was locked up in Eygpt . he fought very hard, along with loads of other politicans to secure his release.he done this, along with Lynn Boylan,and others, because they firmly believed thats what the Irish people wanted. when it became apperent, that the Irish people didnt really give a bollox about Hallawa, opr his family, or the mouske, in clonskeagh, they dropped him like a hopt potaatoe . how often do you hear Hallawa mensioned now ? now Donald , on the other hand, who actually DOES put Americans first,as his his policy, is fukking ridiculed for it. instead of being applauded for putting his own first, CNN engage in a fukking witchunt with their fake news. the reason there isso much opposition to Donald Trump is, he makes so called established politians feel uncomfortable. they dont know how to handle this new way of doing politics. they dont know how to stop appeasing people, and say what they REALLY think.i admire Trump. it doesent matter if you agree with him , or not, but he has certainly put the cat among the pidgeons
-
I don't vote so don't really care too much,don't feel it's my problem if they fuk up.There isn't much difference between all the parties.The ones with extreme views will always stay on the edge of politics.The same way yer mad brother/sister doesn't get invited aroud at Christmas..We're very lucky to live in a country that doesn't have protests on the street every day and somewhere we can vote if we choose.Ireland is a nice country but yous lads aren't happy.Is there anywhere else in the world yis would like to live that ticks all the boxes?Any other country and yis wouldnt get into the taxi industry without serious capital or studying.
Ll I didn't know who Charlie Chan was now I've been watching him on Youtube for the last hour..Thanks.

Oddball opinions,
Extreme views.
You don't vote,
Now we should move out of the country were born in.
If you're not on medication,
Maybe you should start.
-
You obviously don't like it here.Why would ya stay if yer miserable.Yis never shut the fuk up complaining.And its not just shooting the breeze either.Every single day the same gick.
What country would you prefer Ireland to be like?You lads are great at the whinging but offer no realistic solutions.That's pretty oddball and extreme to me.Sorry if nobody has ever told yis to cop the fuk on before.Maybe everyone in yer life is too polite,well I'm not.Cop on yis old farts..

Wasn't calling you Charlie Chan, Merc....relax yourself....you don;t normally get so touchy...just a bit of whnging and moaning and harmless aul fools not talking about flywheels and the aesthetics of the new Tesla specs....

FFS Merc Im more pro Europe than a blue flag full of stars .Ya wont hear me suggesting we leave the EU .But I would suggest you GET A GUN .If a border goes back up in the North then Leo gets assassinated as a trator and buried becsde the last traitor Collins who sold out the North for a deal for the Free State .You remember last year when the Gay Foreigner told us he had a bullett proof guarentee there would be no border I hope that bulletproofness includes himself .Make no sence for Ireland to abandon the EU then we would have nobody to rob fiddle or swindel still think we should open our doors to the Chinaman and give him the same entry point into the EU we give the Yanks .

I am relaxed.Yis are getting all excited over immigration like yis have a choice.Very strange.

Ah Cascarino,Charlton ,Dave O leary .Veradkar Sr .Lad from Nirobi works the Aston .About 40% of my customers are non Irish ,Ihave yet tohear of any taxidriver who refuses those fares ,they practice selective racism .
-
I agree we're in too far already.Probably 80% of my day customers are tourists or immigrants working here.City has changed beyond recognition in 20 years.
Maybe we should build a wall..Did any of yis notice Trumps people are now trying to get a 'strategic wall'now.That means only in certain parts of the border.Not all his ideas are workable when they're trashed out.
-

Not me...I've known this was coming for 20 plus yrs...when I cam home from London I saw the fallout from the Bosnian war landing on our shores as a trial run. No excitement here, Merc just a bit of chat and banter which stops people doing stupid things when they're thinking of going on Tinder etc.
-
Trumptax ideas will bankrupt Ireland 40% of our exports and tax revenues come from only 5 companies .If the Us ever matches Irish corporte tax rates we are sunk .Thats why I suggest the Gay Foreigner and Stuttery Pago should be inviting the Chinaman to Ireland and give them the same chance they gave the Yanks

Now Merc, you spew your fair share of gick on here yourself on here every day,
But isn't that what we all do, that's what the site is for.
Talking shite, some better than others.
What's so strange about being concerned about who is pouring into your country willy-nilly,
Over 741 million people in 28 countries in Europe who are free to come and go where they want when they want. But on top of them we have refugees numbering well over a million, swarming like locusts towards countries with generous welfare benefits,
But now to add insult to injury they will be allowed work in little old Ireland,who have a chronic housing crisis for its own citizens. Children and adults waiting years for urgent operations. Over crowded hospitals waiting in A & E for up to 3 days on a trolley or chair.
Yet the refugees who do make it here get full medical checks and a roof over their head.
But Merc you're in the majority in our country, who don't give a flying fuck .
But I won't apologise to you for my Extreme views,
And I won't be moving anywhere soon. O one more extreme view I have.
Cunts walking the dog at all hours so they don't have to pick up the shit,
I really get pissed off with all the dog shit on the payment and the grass ,
We should treble the dog licence.
Roun up any strays and Gas them
-
I've tried to get the dog to pick up his own shite but he just seems perplexed as to why I'm picking it up at all..
I asked a serious question..which country ticks all the boxes for yis?Every other country is facing the same housing and hospital crisis as we do.Where should we look for inspiration?
-
It comes back to the old argument,we should look after our own first. I'm completely opposed to multiculturism I believe we,as a country are being told to forget about our culture,heritage,and national identity to facilitate the influx of foreigners.i think every right thinking man,woman,and child should totally back president Trump in his desire to protect western civilization from islam
-
I was delighted to see Denmark fine one of those muzzies for wearing a full facial covering garment this week.fuck the immigrant council of Ireland also
-
the muzzies are only the latest hate figures ,even Maggie Sympson has a hate figure its the kid with the one eyebrow .Eisenhower warned against the economic military complex .If the UK abandoned Trident they could fund the NHS and cure homeless if the Yanks stopped their arms race they could feed the world .Americas biggest enemy is the man in the Mirror .Trump reminds me of the old drunkslooking at his own reflection and talking and argueing with himself .
-
Donald Trump. Greatest president America ever had,and they don't realize it.take back control of our country,and our borders .Ireland first
-

The muzzies are there own worse enemy, they will not integrate it's against their toxic ideology.
We are infidels, kifers,
Unbelievers,disbelievers, if you're not a muzzie you're a piece of shit .
They even hate one another,
Sunnies and Shiite slaughter one another every hour of the day.
The NHS is over run with thousands health tourist , forcing it to breaking point. Nearly all abscond without payment,
The people of Britain is now suffering because of the continuous abuse of there NHS. Why do you think the Brits voted to get the fuck out of the cesspit,
Trump is the best thing that ever happened America in a century,
For the people who voted for him and Messiah.
YES he is the president of the USA.
Democratically voted in on the same system as all President before him.
A president with balls,
With no fear of the Washington swamp.
Something I could only dream about.
-
They should force them Muslins to gargle and eat rashers.How can they be truly Irish if they're not hungover every second day like the rest of us. Integration is the key to success.
They should be force fed spuds from and early age until they're fat fuks like me.Then when they reach adulthood they should me made to drink in Templebar and navigate the maze of craft beer only pubs to find a pint of mainstream American lager dirt listening to some pox with a guitar murdering every Ed Sheeran song ever written.Integration is the key..
-
Laffin rofl
But it's True !
-
Personally speaking I don't WANT them to integrate,I want them to fukk off back to where ever they came from,and take the Africans,and Eastern Europeans with them.and while theyare at it,they can take the fukking immigrant council of Ireland with them
