We’re on the verge of complete economic collapse

I CAN’T imagine why anybody is surprised that another company is leaving Ireland.

After decades of negligence, incompetence, greed, corruption and the sheer blinkered stupidity of our politicians, Ireland is on the verge of complete collapse.

The few hundred people in Ireland who have any integrity plus a grasp of elementary economics have been saying for years that we cannot go on much longer.

Our whole bureaucracy is a fantasy world of hundreds of thousands of useless parasites that we have not been able to afford for decades.

That is why we were €40bn in debt during the “wealthiest” period in our history. This government will no doubt form a committee to look into the matter “very seriously”.

Or perhaps they will try to divert our attention with some fake news. Unless there is a complete change in several very basic areas of government, which there won’t be, I would strongly advise emigration before it’s too late.

The idiots who keep telling us to be cheerful are sticking their heads in the sand.
