Ray Darcy - "I will leave the country if Enda Kenny becomes Taoiseach".

I didn't realise I was defending him although I admit it must look like that when no one else is. In my head I am just pointing out the lack of balance in his media coverage.

Look at that debate tonight. It was just like Kenny v Bertie. Depending on which way you lean you will argue who won. Neutrals might have a consensus but won't be very strong one way or the other.

By tomorrow evening it will be completely different and we will hear how Martin wiped the floor with Gilmore just like 2007.

This t.v.3 coverage is doing my f**king nut!

If I hear one more f**king boxing analogy I going to go down and land hay-makers on the lot of them lightweights.


Also tv3 are pretty far up their own hole. Keeping refering to the great debate?

Irish Banks May Need an Additional $68 Billion, Anglo Irish's Dukes Says
By Joe Brennan - Feb 8, 2011 2:00 PM GMT

Anglo Irish Bank Corp. Chairman Alan Dukes said the nation's lenders may need about a further 50 billion euros ($68.2 billion) of capital, more than absorbing a bailout fund for the banks.

The Dublin-based government has already poured 46 billion euros into the banks, and can tap 35 billion euros of extra capital under a bailout agreed last year with the International Monetary Fund and European Union.

"A clean banking core will require something in the region of 50 billion euros," Dukes, 65, a former finance minister, said in an e-mailed copy of a speech today. "A clean banking restructuring implies the acceptance of irrecoverable losses."

The bailout provides for an initial 10 billion euros in capital to be available to the banks, with another 25 billion euros if needed, as lenders grapple with loan losses after the collapse of a decade-long real-estate boom. Irish central bank Governor Patrick Honohan said last month that he would be "disappointed and surprised" if the entire 35 billion euros was needed.

The state has injected 29.3 billion euros into nationalized Anglo Irish. Dukes, appointed as chairman in June, said the remaining "black hole" in the Irish financial system may amount to between 20 billion euros and 40 billion euros.

Filling that gap requires "long term 20 year to 30 year funding, on which there will be no return," Dukes said.

Why is this not reported in the useless f**king useless Irish media?

The information is there, Reuters have it. Is this €50 Billion on top of the ELA €50 Billion which hasn't been explained yet either? How much interest will we pay annually? 5% would be €5 Billion in extra interest annually.  Our revenue last year was €30 Billion.

Here is Bobby's remarkably similar looking 'brother in law'. Why does it look like the English tabloids are sending plants to interfere with our election? Do we not owe them enough money?

This will be a nice side benefit. I presume he's sticking to his side of the bargain?

[mylestheslasher]

Did he not have Kenny on his show of late and Kenny asked him did he have his ticket booked to which Darcy got embarrassed and sheepishly said to not be talking about that.

[stephenite]

Has he gone yet?

[Billys Boots]
