It will start later this year and both Labour and the Tories agree that the cuts will be severe as they will have to be for the British to retain their AAA rating by the agencies.

Supernationaisits should be asked how is this financial problem gling to be tackled in their dreams of independence. Living beyond your means limits options. Not a good thing.

In mid November AIB was worth €3.5 billion. Your shares were worth €875 billion – a loss of €2.625 billion. Not bad for Fianna Fail. This is the same crowd who will cut anything to save €4 billion this December. Bad government -
