SEVERAL SUNDAY BROADSHEET ITEMS are likely talking points for early February in Ireland, beginning with the new-found prosperity some working in Facebook's Dublin headquarters may soon enjoy. Facebook enjoys the same corporation tax breaks as other multinationals operating with services in Ireland.
The Sunday Times Magazine is also worth a long read, covering 50 years of themes and photos from its archive. I'm handing it to the grandparents because the coverage pays fair tribute to life in the Sixties in both England and Ireland. I recorded a five-minute clip with my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and let it automagically upload to YouTube. I'm doing these weekly clips because I hope they can give my children an idea of what we were talking about in this decade of austerity. I've embedded the video clip below the break.
The economists in both the Sunday Business Post and the Sunday Times point out compelling flaws with the economic austerity imposed on the country. I don't think the current imposition of deflation stimulates recovery.
