Is Rialto not a place in dublin? where is it?
There is no air service between Dublin 7 and Dublin 8.
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
The gates were opened in 2004, the boom collapsed in 2006.
Agreed. Away from that however, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the queues doubled and doubled again in the next few weeks, and not a man or woman really needing the food, in the sense of starving. I mean what, a woman that can afford a mortgage and a playstation, but not food? Give over. Its a handy little income supplement. With that said, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Capuchins and what they represent, to the extent that I may drop in a donation to them one of the days.

How do you get a mortgage on a "menial job"?

By working long hours I would imagine! You probably would not understand what hard work and long hours are from your shiny seat in your ivory tower.
So tell me, what percentage of the people in that queue would you say really need it, in the sense that they have little or no other source of food? As I said already, I have nothing but respect for the Capuchins, but I am heavily sceptical about many of the people lining up to get free stuff. One man even mentioned that some of them "looked like millionaires".

Yeah to be fair its a well written post. I was expecting to see a reference to a news paper or something.
hat tip IrelandP, good writing.
MookieBaylock,
Having brought them in we need to figure out now what to do. Thats a fair point.
Can I quibble though with your point that we brought them in to build our boom.
Maybe we should say we brought them in to build our bubble
Have you seen the film 'Kings'?
I suppose my attitude would be more like that painter decorater than you IrelandProud....Irish film-maker Tom Collins has turned it into a £2.5 million project starring Colm Meaney, best known for playing Miles O'Brien in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine.
In Kings, Meaney plays Joe, one of six men who come to London looking for work in the Seventies.
Thirty years later the men are reunited for the funeral of a friend who has died in tragic circumstances.
Collins, who grew up in Donegal, said the story of what happened to Irishmen who left home to seek their fortune in England was one he knew well from his youth.
He said: "Our aim was to make a ' foreign' film in England because I'm no longer sure England as we knew it exists.
"Our characters still talk in Irish in an attempt to accentuate their personal and national bond and their language is, to them, their last act of solidarity.
"This is an untold story of immigration and loneliness which continues today with migrants from Lithuania, Poland and China."
The director said it was an "amazing night" when he saw Kings Of The Kilburn High Road at the Tricycle, as what he saw on stage mirrored the lives of so many people in the audience.
"It's surprisingly universal," he said. "It's a little aspect of London life that is often forgotten; I hope people are interested."

Welfare should be given based on what you have contributed to the economy in your working life.
This would remove the anomaly of non-nationals receiving more benefits than recently dole seekers.
It would also rip apart the layabouts who did not bother lifting a finger when we had full employment for 5-10 years.
