well especially not if people refer to them as chinks......

we have the lowest corporation tax in europe which makes ireland still attractive for foreign investment, and the cost base is decreasing. so i dont see why we wouldnt be considered. plus as always, the fact we speak english as a native language is a big advantage, with a relatively high level of education all round

exports and primary/secondary industries will create new wealth, services just pass the same money around.

the unemployment increase may be due to students finishing college as opposed to people losing their jobs?

Very true Shoco, seasonal unemployment I believe is the name�..i did economics for the Leaving!

So, things at the moment seem pretty much the same; ie muck BUT there may be some light at the end of the tunnel soon please god. Interesting.

I find this report sickening, this country is a long way from being out of recession, i saw some dumb bitch on rte last night saying that her husband had gone from a three day week back to full time so everything was grand now,
as someone who has had to make 20 people redundant in the last few months i think the bubble heads who are running this country are so far removed form reality its shocking, the Dail has spent most of the week talking about the rights of animals and opposition parties using it as a political football just shows the weakness of the majority of policticans in this coutry.
I was only last night reading about this venture in Athlone to bring 10000 jobs to the area by providing a European hub for Chinese companies(link below). These are the things that should be headlines on our news and be discussed in the Dail not weather its ok to chase bambi around the country side.

Ah jaysus what ever happened to this?

Its by no means a certainty to happen. They had a really positive meeting about it last month in China. They were trying to sell this to the major companies to invest in. Its decision time now for those companies. We'll soon see.

Piece on prime time tonight about Ireland being a tax haven

It is with regard to Corporation Tax and Business. The EU and the G8 want it to change, a rake of jobs rely on us being a haven though.
