Outrage on both sides

As public sector workers are losing more jobs day by day, the public sector is outraged that they have to bear the whole burden of the financial crisis in Ireland. Hearing that makes the private workers outraged and soon it will be impossible to discuss the issue at all. Everyone seem to think about themselves and whether or not they have been given the worst deal.
It was brave of the government to go down this route and as they previously haven`t been able to come together on anything, that they have on this tough decision proves the seriousness of the financial crisis. Ireland's economy is bleeding and tough decisions will have to be made.

  1. Interesting blog, great to get a perspective from Ireland. The issue that worries me amidst this crisis is social tensions rising and people reaching a breaking point. How would you measure the temperature in Ireland? Is there any possibility of riots similar to France a few weeks ago?
