That we have no control over. Neither do we have control of our interest rates. These are facts. Also we have one of the fastest growing populations in Europe and lower the average housing stock this is also fact. If they had put in what I think were proper measures like the one I am going to post below we would still have had a massive boom in construction and taken a hit as Spain is. Also in terms of competitiveness in relation of Europe we are not as bad as you might think. http://home.eircom.net/content/irelandcom/biznews/12327278?view=Eircomnet How about instead of guessing what I am implying actually read through my achieves and my archieves on Irish election as what I actually mean. http://www.irishelection.com/09/how-to-counter-act-housing/ The recent slump in the economy is due to the credit crisis in the banking system.

Fianna Fail still have a factor to play in all of this: the simple fact that they allowed the growth of the economy to become - and here it comes - *dependent* on *unsustainable* growth means that they can be held responsible. I love how your argument tautologically implies that they can be held accountable for the good but then, consequently, when you tacitly admit that things are getting worse, you rationalise by saying it's: "more due to international effects" and "we have not an awful lot of control on our economy". #1: No it isn't. In 2004, the ESRI published several reports showing our competitiveness rating plummeting in Europe to the bottom-third of nations. #2: Yes we do have control of our economy, as much as any other nation in the Eurozone does.
