NAMA and the truth
It’s at times like this one is glad to see the Courts in action. At least we have some effort to argue both sides of the coin. A good example from the Liam Carroll case is reported in today’s Irish Times: ‘Property market may take decae to recover, court told‘. The propaganda machine is in [...]
Ireland – continuing to play our part on the world stage
In my working life (25 years since graduating from engineering school in Trinity College) I have never before experienced the challenges now seen in Ireland. At the time I commenced my training contract in KPMG (then SKC) in 1984 I recall many recently qualified accountants being very concerned for their future. In 2000/2001 – three [...]

However our Finance Minister has been out doing his stuff – on tour getting the Ireland message across. Frank Millar assures us [...]

We have made some serious errors in Ireland – but there is a major international dimension to this. Was interested in listening to economist John Fitzgerald today. Even if we end up putting €20bn into rescuing our [...]
Thoughtful piece on social networking and facebook
Interesting piece from Fiona McCann in today’s Irish Times, ”on facebook“. Would agree fully that Facebook has changed (and devalued) meaning of friends. Much of what Fiona says rings true with me – as someone who spends a fair amount of time blogging, twittering and updating facebook. Her comments would also be well received by [...]
Guide to some of the top financial blogs
Great piece in the Irish Times introducing a number of the top financial blogs – for those interested. Ironically another example of a challenge to the newspapers – provided by a combination of economists and journalists. Share on Facebook
a case for gardening leave
By Barry O'Gorman on May 9, 2009
I could not agree more with Noel Whelan in today’s Irish Times. George Lee has been the anchor commentator for RTE on the economy and the actions taken by the government throughout the current crisis.
