Buckle Up

Dublin, this morning

According to the ESRI we are fucked. Ireland is in "the grip" of a recession - not just receding like male pattern baldness, but gripped like a vice by a big hairy hand. We haven't had a recessive year since 1983 apparently. That makes it all the more interesting that in 25 years of growth we still haven't managed to build even a dual-carriageway between our two biggest cities.

Result.
