More socialism

Too bad. Every step toward Socialism is a step away from fredom. 68.177.12.38 (talk) 13:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who cares about ideology in the current circumstances! Ideology got us into this mess (the "free market" as a magic cure to all our ills). However, this particular nationalisation is disasterous for anyone in Ireland except the politicians and their property developer buddies. 78.137.128.232 (talk) 14:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I disagree with you, I support Socialism however regardless this is not a forum. Take your opinions elsewhere, suchas a blog. Please read WP:NOTAFORUM. Ijanderson (talk) 14:32, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hiberno-English/ Irish-English

It is appropriate to use Hiberno/Irish-English for this article due to national ties to Ireland. This is what we should do according to WP:ENGVAR. For this reason I have added the Hiberno-English banner to notify users/ editors that we are to use Hiberno/Irish English as the relevant style of English to be used on this article.
