    More good news

    RTÉ Business: Service sector edges closer to growth

    The service industry seems to have bottomed out (remember manufacturing showed an increase last week)

    Also 3 times as many firms expect a pick up compared to last year, and the lowest number in 2 years expect a decline

    BUSINESS WORLD - Number of firms going bust up 25pc in Q1

    Does this add to the myth that we're in recovery?

    Or is this just more "suicide merchant spoofery" talking down our economy?

    RTE have become an unbelievable organ of FF. Truly.

    CNN spends about 600 million euro. Those useless tits in Montrose cost almost as much

    I look forward to Sean Whelan's spin on the data on Friday which will show inflation trends emerging and Industrial Turnover figures that are declining despite what a few purchasing managers opined for NCB.

    well...it is good news, and I see the UK services sector actually added jobs. My worry is how it will turn out that as fiscal support is withdrawn globally and as interest rates rise.
    My second worry is the lack of a clear recovery strategy. Let's see how it pans out.
    If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.

    RTÉ Business: More firms expecting a pick-up - survey
    Spin at its very worst.
    Service sector output deeclines and the headline they come up with is that it edges closer to growth!

    For pete's sake, it declined.

    Many indicators show the decline slowing to a standstill.

    Cop on!

    The decline is slowing, if you are adverse to anything other than "boom times" then that is your issue.

    Most indicators show the steep declines of a year or so ago flattening out.
