Belfast Boy Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mike Smyth says its the lack of building houses up here that caused the boom. And he had "Economist" under his name on screen. And we are not going to be hit as badly as the ROI in the recession. Yeah I was laughing at that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) ... a must watch.... Watch it again on BBC iplayer - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kt...ght_02_06_2009/ It will spread here too. Mandy McAuley investigates how the demise of the Celtic Tiger is having an impact on Northern Ireland's economy. In 2009 shoppers from the Republic of Ireland are expected to spend three-quarters of a billion Euro in Northern Ireland. But thousands of cross-border workers based in Northern Ireland are facing long-term unemployment as the Republic's construction boom ends. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ktlp3 Edit: link added.

Rock-n-Roll Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 It'll be 'Erin Go Broke' for next five years IRELAND will have to "suffer" a period of "long, slow, grinding deflation" and wait five years before our economic growth matches that of the euro region, a Nobel Prize-winning economist said yesterday. Paul Krugman, who created huge controversy last month when he wrote a column in the 'New York Times' headlined 'Erin go Broke', said: "You made the decisions that put you in this box a while back." http://www.independent.ie/national-news/el...rs-1763829.html rock on!
