    Celtic Meltdown book

    Anybody know who Cearbhall O Dalaigh is?
    He seems to be promoting Charlie McCreevy for FF leadership.

    The chapters on the Public Sector pay and pensions shows what a disgrace this whole area is.

    Looks like an advertisement above, but see here from Amazon..

    Cearbhaill O Dálaigh, from Kerry, emigrated to America in 1970 and returned to Ireland 1978. He invested in and worked in the tourism and fishing industries and sold those interests in 1990. He then worked with the EU-TACIS programme in early 1990s. From the mid 1990s to 2007 he was a sub-contractor in Irish construction industry. His interests lie in economics and Irish politics.

    They need to cut a lot more than €5,000,000,000.

    I think they need to be cutting at least €20,000,000,000

    I think they should use the "Micawber Principle".
    "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
