Vive la France

France Vs Ireland

Congrats have to go out to France for reaching the world cup in South Africa by beating Ireland on aggregate tonight. And well done to the Irish too, from 1 to 11 (+2), they played out of their skin...even the perennially annoying Robbie. The French goal was a big injustice and I'm sure when the referee sees in again he'll have nightmares.

Government Loves AIB

And just as we've been robbed by the French tonight, so too it seems that the banks will keep trying their underhand methods to rob the taxpayers. Both Irish Life & Permanent and AIB have both come out this week to say that their 'impairment provisions' will be increased due to fall offs in commercial property values. Now, what timing! The government has already committed to NAMA and the bailout. Surely this is not new information and surely this now makes the bailout even more expensive.

Also today it was announced that Colm Doherty has become the new AIB group managing director. An insider. How soft is Brian Lenihan that he has not completely obliterated the board and brought in a complete clean sweep. The only reason I can possibly think off is that an outsider offered the job possibly turned it down because of the salary cap...."say it's so Brian".
