Never mind this. The pension yolk is the real story.
Remember when FF paid banks with our pension? Remember when they announced a new tax on retirement?
Makes you think what other information they are hiding from us.
Earlier than that. It would been board approved. The dept of finance sees board papers. I’d say they’ve known for about a month.
Dead in the eyes with the swagger of the Vulture Noonan
That’s not a lot of notice
There was an AIB team working on this plan for two years.
The email was just resting in the spam box until the government went on Summer Holidays
It’s pretty stupid if people react with howls of faux outrage over every single thing the government does.
4 days notice to one branch of government before enacting something like this is very little notice. Anyone who works in a large organisation knows how long it can take information to propagate to the top.
But we have the usual stuff declaring that they are ‘liars’ here from the usual people. Save your outrage for the actual fuck ups, otherwise I see two main consequences:
1. The government knows whatever it does, it will be condemned (not a great incentive for doing the right thing).
2. Actual intelligent criticism of policy and performance gets drowned out by this continuous brainless noise, and we are all poorer for it.
The state has a huge stake in the banks because of bailout – they were invited to have a Board member and they declined. If the banks have to ease up on something it should be the lending requirements for first time buyers – 3 and a half times income buys nothing in property.

Omg that’s so incredibly shocking. They lied?
Four days doesn’t seem like long to me?
4 days is blindsiding.

Well, they’re upping the retirement age too.
This shit is a welcome distraction. Ignore it
