He’s 100% right. We’ll likely (as a world) never be this rich again.
Thank god successive FFG governments invested wisely in infrastructure to tide us over through these lean years to come.
I never got the chance to play much with higher living standards considering I cant even own my own home and am still living with my parents into my late 20s thanks to this slimy weasel and his government. Cheers guys for doing something useful with all that money though. Pricks.
Sure look we’ve all had a good run of it.
Amidst all the noise, there’s a real danger that very marginalized people reliant on welfare and state supports are likely to slip through the cracks.
We all partied.
We all partied?
Looking forward to the headline in a couple of weeks
“Metro plans postponed due to financial uncertainty”
I’m so glad we have a diverse sovereign wealth fund to tide us all over. Thank goodness for the Irish politicians and European leaders who have been prepared for this moment…
So back to fishing and farming then Pascal?
I haven’t seen the jobs market as bad in tech in a long long time. A lot of competition for few roles and salaries are coming down. I think the downturn has already started to churn.

Lower than what?
Well, unless we end to as a safe haven from political and regulatory chaos for those MNCs I really think we are looking at a major nose dive.
I don’t really see the upside in the US to this stuff though either. The most likely medium term outcome is a total freeze up of investment globally — there’s way too much uncertainty and nobody is going to be throwing money around in the commercial world anyway.
What I see at the moment is a stock market that is just being overly optimistic and assuming that Trump and co are just bluffing and this is a game of tariff poker. That’s not looking likely to be the case and I would suspect that when investors start to lose realise that confidence will just evaporate and that’s when the whole thing starts to fall apart.
I think you’re looking at supreme arrogance and very superficial knowledge dictating policy in an extremely complex situation. It’s inevitable that it will hit the brick wall of reality fairly soon.
Lower than they already are?
Dead on the hill of neo-liberalism.
Driving around the outskirts of Cork today just brought it home to me about how actually bad we are at planning, brutal. 30 years of economic growth and our infrastructure is appalling, the only people benefitting from roads planning are those who supply the traffic lights !
I think you throw as much money at us as possible and we’d still find a way to waste and squander it.
cool, time to cut all the politicians salaries in half
Better buy your cocaine now while it’s still cheap
The bar is at no one being able to afford a house and rent being through the roof, let’s see how much they lower
