You are correct, the spokesman on the radio (here in Ireland) was blabbing on about them putting pressure on the government now via lobbying.
government who in all honesty have better things to be worrying about such as getting the country of out the deepening depression we are still in (and one that they helped get us into!)

and quite happy about this

but people here (mostly USasians :D) need to know that Ireland had the most expensive bank bailout in world per head of population, almost 10x your mess
and probably the most incompetent and corrupt government in western world, who are now running a deficit of 20% of GDP which would make the Greeks look good

and we will be paying for this for many generations :(

this is a coloured lining on a gray cloud :(

I'm from Ireland

unfortunately Eircom (ex state owned Telecom Eireann)

own almost all of the coper/phone network in country

outside the big cities (where you can get cable with UPC) the choice boils down (assuming your close enough to exchange...) to Eircom or wireless

thats if your lucky enough to have either, since most of the country is very sparsely populated

i am moving to the countryside soon, so i wont have much choice...
