To people outside ireland what's your view on the Irish situation. ?

-I know most foreign citizens see my home country ireland as a joke due to our economic situation ..but please remember it wasn't so long ago Ireland had thesecond highest living standardsin the world and was the envy of all of Europe ..personally I think in a few months Europe (the EU) will admitt the contagion ..(couldn't they get a better name) has spread to Spain and Italy ..this will demolish the euro and will send political relations in Europe back 10 years...this will then lead to a complete dollar collapse already weakened due to no growth and signal the end of western superpower and send the west into a depression !!! Then Ireland will be the least of your worries !!..oh and if you live in the uk don't think you're currency will save you the pound won't survive a euro and dollar collapse !! Theories !!?i agree with most of your analysis. What we need to do is get onto the streets, not just in ireland, but right across Europe in a joined effort to say that we are sick of paying for the mistakes of the elite.I know they're great with Flute thingie !! I wish I was irish.. and they like my fav color: green!
