Apologies if this matter has been treated elsewhere in another thread. Are there any plans to do something in Cork? Those I have mentioned this news to locally have regarded it with disbelief or livid anger.
I think there may be a couple of pinsters based in Cork, but not too many. So I’d say you’d need to hit a more Cork-centric forum and try to rouse some interest. Is the boards.ie regional Cork board popular?
Sorry to say I can’t make it, I was free, but SWMBO informs me that she volunteered me for a charity function on Thursday morning but omitted to tell me!
I know where I’d rather be!
Hopefully I’ll see someone else in a Bertie mask carrying a sign saying “No bleedin’ digouts from taxpayers pockets, ya bleedin spanners” on the 6 o’clock news Thursday evening!
I cant go, but if I did I’d have a banner that made a monetary point.
If there’s 600k potential FTBs (assume 60k for each year of 18 to 30 year olds) and if the government is offering say Eur60k per FTB to make up the 20% shortfall from what the banks are willing to lend, that amounts to a potential Eur36 billion that the govt will be paying out. That sum is as much as the tax revenue in the so-called good times.
One could follow the satirical lead of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billionaires_for_Bush and dress as a property developer and hold up a sign thanking the government profusely for bailing you out.
Folks. It all to play for here. We CAN stop them. They need their minds to be made up. All they have been hearing so far is the soft whispers of Country Tom. Lets tell them what we think and how strongly we feel.
