I recently was speaking with some people from Dublin who were boasting about how their pensions and benefits were so much better than Englands. It seems it time for that Gravy train to come to an end !

| 1. NEWSFLASH! It wasn't the poor who caused Ireland's crash |

And it shouldn't be the poor who pay for the banker's and property speculator's mistakes.
The real gravy train with Ireland is their inadequate corporation tax rate. That needs to be raised so the Irish government can raise some revenue to pay for their bailouts.
