I can understand how people in the rest of Europe are fed up and increasingly concerned about the bailouts and there is no doubt that in Ireland we got caught up in the whole "Celtic Tiger" myth and assumed it would go on for ever but what gets me is that, I now work longer hours for a third less money, struggle every week to pay the bills, keep food on the table and have to face the disappointment of my kids when I have to tell them that they can't do swimming lessons or drama because we can't afford it anymore, while the fat financial gambling bastards whose shady deals brought on this mess can walk away with huge golden handshakes and none of them seem to be held to account for the disaster they have brought upon us.
I'm getting threatening phonecalls and letters from my creditors and they who owe billions walk away leaving you, me and our kids with the bill. It makes me sick to my stomach

Did you read Morgan Kelly in Saturday's
Times? That was a depressing read...
