What was all the fuss about really? Okay, so a few jobs may have been lost, there was a touch of the old negative equity, inflation lost the run of itself for a time, and the Social Partners ended up having a bit of a spat over trifles such as wages. Yet it has all proved to be nothing more than a flash-in-the-pan spell of panic! For you see, the recession is over!
Hurrah!
What do you mean that this is news to you?
Here - take a look! From MCD today:
Welsh singer Duffy has announced her return to Dublin after stunning crowds earlier in the year at the Academy. She will perform for one night at the Olympia Theatre on Monday 24 November. Tickets priced €33.60 ( Ground Floor Standing/Upper Circle Seating ) and €39.20 ( Circle Seating ) incl. booking fee are on sale from Friday 22 August at all usual Ticketmaster outlets.
Now, if wily old MCD think that the paying punter is willing to part with the best part of €45, once the extras are included, to see this overhyped young lady do her nice but ordinary repertoire, then the corner has surely been turned, the economy is booming once more, the Celtic Tiger has rediscovered its roar!
Its time to max those credit cards out again chaps! Tally ho!
