Matrix12,
unfortunately Ireland is currently littered with the evidence in the form of great empty edifices to the 'Celtic tiger' [sic] and the financial boom [sic] otherwise known as 'cheap credit', where the whole economy was great bloody ponzi scheme, money was thrown about like nothing, vast excesses ignored because it was all 'on credit' with the expectation that there would be more tomorrow.
Smoke and mirrors.
The inception of clearsky from the ashes of PTC is just an attempt to perpetuate the excesses at other people's expense the very lifestyles that showed the 'financial boom' for what it was.. a 'credit boom'.
It's no great surprise that the same names skirt around looking to get their hands in other peoples pockets while shirking the very obligations that they sought.
it is indeed rotten, rotten to the core, but the whole issue is considerably deeper. It would be a change to see the Irish Government address itself, but that would require the potential to lose out on having their nose in the taxpayer/EU trough while shackling the people of Ireland to the gutter where they can observe their elected masters and their cohorts getting fat.
it really is an abject disgrace. and I for one applaud the likes of pilotbear's activities in attempting to bring this under the spotlight.
