  8. @lstwrd Newstalk news just described a man as having 'escaped jail' - presumably 'avoided jail' was a less catchy headline?
  9. I do think Enda's use of the word 'mad' to describe us is a bit disingenuous - makes us sound like a pack of wild, drunken paddies
  10. @Sinead_McE Agreed!
  11. I just think there's too much emphasis on 'what the lenders did'. It takes two parties to reach a loan agreement
  12. @Sinead_McE That's true
  13. @Sinead_McE Well, to be a bit controversial about it, couldn't you argue that everyone who 'borrowed recklessly' has a responsibility?
  14. Surely Enda had a fair point about the country 'going mad borrowing'. or have we totally abandoned the idea of personal responsibility?
  15. The old 'nobody else can do my job' line no longer cuts the mustard, it seems: irishtimes.com/newspaper/brea…
