“One of the great pejorative terms that continue to be used is this thing of bailout which suggests that the country is in some way seeking not to meet its obligations, to meet its own debts,” Cowen said, rejecting the suggestion that Ireland will be unable to fund its obligation. “That is not the case.” He’s got some meetings set up re: this whole budget thing, they’ll sort it out, it’ll be fine, so just, shhh, relax.
Cowen indicated he doesn’t expect a concrete agreement tomorrow night in Brussels, echoing comments by Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker. “There’ll be further discussions there and, I’m sure, there’ll be discussions thereafter as well,” Cowen said. Ireland is due to publish details of a four-year plan to reduce its budget deficit and its 2011 budget within the next month. Cowen said that the plans will help provide confidence in Ireland. It will “provide further evidence that the government and the Irish nation and the country is determined to work our way through these issues,” he said.

Perhaps Bono can do a fundraising concert for Ireland? He seems to be helping in Africa.
Bono doesn’t like Irish people. He needs to examine his motives.
I’d offer an Irish car bomb to Cowen but that might get misconstrued
Everything was great with the Irish, until they found whiskey.
Someone list all of the recurring memes that this site has generated. I’ll start. Please add any that I have missed.
1. In Soviet Russia . . . etc.
2. Other than that, I have no concerns.
3. UBS sucks.
4. Meet me at Minetta’s Tavern.
What are the others that I am missing?
We’ll give some land to the … and the …
But not the Irish!
Kill yourself Anal_yst..
you are doing god’s work
This kind of thing happens at …. it’s no big deal
Why the long face
It moved
There are a few others like: “mayo,” “ron pau”l and “ask yourself, does this comment relate to the post? no? then maybe I should focus and come up with one that does otherwise STFU.”
That happens sometimes.
I see what you did there.
TL;DR.
Check your hormones at the door Bess.
S.A.D. at the door, Ms. Lippy
He could start by less aggressively avoiding Irish taxes. Typical self-righteous liberal…
lights on or off though?
In a row?
Once you list all of the old ones a new one will sprout up making the list pointless. Its a moo point.
Yes, the whole bag.
Whoa whoa whoa, Miss Lippy. The part of the story I don’t like is that the little boy gave up looking for Happy after an hour. He didn’t put posters up or anything, he just sat on the porch like a goon and waited. That little boy’s gotta think ‘You got a pet. You got a responsibility.’ If your dog gets lost you don’t look for an hour then call it quits. You get your ass out there and you find that fucking dog.
That’s what I said.
Just give the PM a drink…..he will be just fine
So, you see, the puppy was like industry. In that, they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy – “society” – knew where to find ‘em. Except that the puppy was a dog. But the industry, my friends, that was a revolution.
… is why … is in trouble
Examine your motives
At my nth round interview at GS,…
Shit Bess, you know there are lot of old farts reading DL, and we don’t know what S.A.D. means!!! even tried urban dictionary but too many definitions.
Ahhh . . . you’re married and have forgotten, I see.
Reciting DB memes is the NKI.
Fucking Disqus won’t let me reply to Bess’ last comment but B: a Louis CK reference? Marry me.
BONOBOS!!!!
You people could learn a thing or two from NASCAR. Always fluff the sponsor.
Pictures or it didn’t happen
