OMG. Minnie Mouse speaks the time if you press the watch face

Dearest asdasd,
Éire is used in English, and to use it shows respect for their heritage.  Indeed the government of Éire use this name on their Euro notes and coinage. We don't refer to "the Irish prime minister, we use the correct term "Taoiseach" out of respect of an independent sovereign country.

It is a matter of record that the Euro countries bailed out the Banks of Éire to the tune of €68 billion so that their economy didn't become bankrupt.. The U.K. Government despite not being a euro-currency member contributed €3billion for Éire in 2010 (and €3.5 billion for Portugal in 2011).

perhaps if Éire had collected their corporation taxes, such bailouts would not have been necessary.

Greece, well from the actual documents pertaining to the eurozone rescue plan, it seems that they didn't collect taxes at all !! I commend those documents to you to read.  

Sadly, we all will be paying the price of the bankers greed for generations to come, whatever country we live in.  

As regards Brexit, it is beginning to dawn just what a problem the uk will have with international trade.  The U.K. has zero trade agreements in place, and it is delusional of the Brexiteers to think that the entire world will immediately agree to give tariff free trade just because the uk says so.  

Shamefully one uk politician has even said that "our empire" will all want to trade with the U.K. How delusional is that ?

me, I'm leaving the uk 

How long ago is it since the EU bailed out Eire ? 2008 it was for €68 million. Btw I am British and I voted to stay in the EU. Sorry it was €68 billion.......so without it Eire would have been stuffed...
