Comments on: The State of the Nation conference http://www.irisheconomy.ie/index.php/2009/02/13/the-state-of-the-nation-conference/ Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Ronan Lyons http://www.irisheconomy.ie/index.php/2009/02/13/the-state-of-the-nation-conference/#comment-1404 Ronan Lyons Wed, 18 Feb 2009 10:42:28 +0000 http://www.irisheconomy.ie/?p=717#comment-1404 Re the state of the nation, how far things will deteriorate and how fast, I thought it might be interesting to see if our collective ability to predict the direction and pace of change is as bad as 2008 suggested it might be, when we got used to waking up to entirely unexpected news, generally of a bad kind, hence: http://www.hubdub.com/m30603/When_will_Irelands_Live_Register_top_350000 The admittedly small market went for Mar/Apr first, but it would be my inkling that January's figures should suggest it will top 350000 by February. Interested to see what the readership here thinks, both in relation to content and to the tool itself.

For me, I would rather spend the day sorting out my sock drawer than listen to what I am sure will be nothing more than a like minded group hug with lots of unworkable socialist drivel thrown in.

Poul Nyrup Rasmussen got Denmark out of similar (although not as extreme) problems in the 1990s. Looks likely to be an interesting conference alright.
