This is daft. Most of us had no knowledge of high finance nor had we any means of influencing what was going on. We trusted the leadership of the country. We were let down.

Can u tell that first Lady who spoke . We did not elect Bertie Ahern 2 sell us out and Feather his own nest. We didnt encourage our govt 2 give loans 2 their best friends and contractors and planners back handers. We were MISLED. And d lower Class and Middle Class r paying now.

Not one of your panel have addressed the real issue. Why are we issueing work permits to non skilled non.-EU citizens when our unemployment rate is heading for 20%.?

Siobhan O Donohue has spent the last decade campaigning for open door immigration and now she is complaining about falling wages in the service sector. You cant have it both ways.

this whole crisis was caused by a get rich scheme. The councils sold social housing why were they allowed! Nama should be a long term soloution so instead of knocking all these houses rent them on housing lists!
***
becoz the panel is again dominated by pinkos, issue of floods of immigrants allowed in by our open door hugely extending the property bubble was buried
You defended Fingelton in the weeks after the scandal broke saying he gave loans 2 people who couldnt get any .Journalists!
***
all those questions have been ad nauseum and we have the same clicheed answers from the same pompous pundids .There when v browne could be relied on to bring fresh insights to current but sorry i have had it enough of boring repetive chatter.Not even the cloud of could release a phnenix to save us from slox death from boredom in off to bed with me glass of milk and me mills and boon.
