Yes, it was nice to get a little bit of hope. The sense of doom is becoming oppressive.

These problems, compared to that which faced our forbearers are indeed surmountable, but we need leadership.

Its quite obvious that Ireland is a wealthy country - the big problem is that that wealth is consentrated in the hands of about 5% of the population, and thats exactly the 5% that Fianna Fail will never make help to pay for the crisis. No, its the 95% who have very little that will have to pay. FF will certainly let the state go bankrupt before it touches on this 5% for a dig-out (except for their own expenses).
