€66.7 MILLION of your money.
You paid it at the till on bottles and cans. You never got it back.
Now the private operator Re-turn is sitting on it and says it's "not required" to tell you where it goes or what the bosses are paid.
Not good enough. I won't let it drop.
Two small island economies blew up in 2008. Iceland and Ireland. Their names differ by one letter, and their handling of the crisis differed by everything that matters.
Iceland's three big banks, Kaupthing, Landsbanki, and Glitnir, had grown assets to roughly ten times the country's GDP by 2008. Pure credit-fueled madness. When the music stopped, the Icelandic government did the unthinkable: it let them fail. Bondholders ate the losses. The state refused to socialize private bank debt onto 320,000 citizens who never signed up for it. Capital controls went up, the króna collapsed, and the politicians actually prosecuted bankers. Twenty-six of them went to prison. Sigurður Einarsson and Hreiðar Már Sigurðsson, the men who ran Kaupthing, served real sentences.
Ireland took the opposite road. In September 2008, the Irish government issued a blanket guarantee covering the liabilities of its major banks, including Anglo Irish Bank, a property-lending casino that should have been allowed to die in peace. The taxpayer absorbed the bill. By the time the rescue ended, Ireland had poured around 64 billion euros into its banks, roughly 40 percent of GDP. The state took on private gambling debts, then went to the Troika in 2010 hat in hand for an 85 billion euro bailout, and accepted years of austerity to pay for losses it had no business owning.
Both economies recovered. Both eventually grew again. The difference is who paid and who learned. Iceland made creditors and reckless bankers bear the consequences of their own decisions, which is the entire point of capitalism: profit and loss, not profit and bailout. Ireland protected the people who made the bad bets and handed the invoice to schoolteachers and shopkeepers.
You will hear economists call Ireland's GDP rebound a triumph (much of that "growth" is multinational accounting fiction, Leprechaun economics, but that's another lesson). What they skip is the moral architecture. When you guarantee bank liabilities, you abolish the discipline that makes markets work. You tell every banker in the country that downside is optional.
Iceland jailed its bankers. Ireland reimbursed theirs.
@rtenews@Ireland2020 The entire Medical Council needs to be forced to resign for behaving in an entirely political manner. This is a republic, not some tinpot dictatorship that needs to clean up dissent.
If you follow me and agree with my stance I would very much appreciate if you to like and share my posts as in spite of my having 56000 followers only a tiny proportion of my tweets get pasr the algorithm to my followers . I am definitely shadow banned by the system or whoever .

To all radio presenters, TV talk show hosts and journalists in Ireland.
Give me 10 to 15 minutes of air-time, and I promise to convince you that Covid Vaccines are NOT vaccines AND explain to you in layman's terms how and why they cause CANCER.
Former Pfizer VP and allergy & respiratory disease expert Michael Yeadon:
"We haven't got the sub-microscopic infectious particles called viruses. That's bullshit"
"We don't have contagion of a sick person to a well person. That's bullshit"
"Virus lie plus contagion lie equals vaccine lie"
"A friend of mine pointed out that in 6,000 years of writing of every culture on the planet, you will find no mention of contagion. No mention of contagion... Funny, you would think they would have noticed that"
This clip of Yeadon, a former Pfizer Vice President and expert in allergies and respiratory diseases, is taken from an interview with James Delingpole (@JMCDelingpole) posted to the Delingpod Rumble channel on April 27, 2026.

"Contagion does not happen. So if you choose to believe me, if your mission is to decide for yourself, we haven't got the sub-microscopic infectious particles called viruses. That's bullshit. We don't have contagion of a sick person to a well person. That's bullshit as well.
"But you need both of those lies, don't you, in order that vaccines make any sense. But they're both false. And if any one of them is false, you're being lied to. They're both false. You're being lied to.
"Why is it diabolical magic? Why is this so important? Two things to tell you. One is why it's so important. And you'll— I reeled over with horror when I sussed it, and I hope you will too. And then I'm going to remind you something very peculiar happens with people who don't go along with this nonsense. And it happens nowhere else in your professional existence, which I think ties in with what I'm about to tell you.
"So it's the only thing you routinely do now where you get a hollow metal needle and you jab it into a human being. And then you close the plunger on the syringe and whatever is in that syringe ends up inside your body. It's got through all your defenses in one go.
"Remember I told you your skin is really brilliant? Your skin is an incredible— It's like three different layers stratified outside layer. Then you've got the dermis and the epidermis and so on, and then small blood vessels underneath that will weep if you cut yourself and throw defenses to keep you clean from the outside invasions from the outside world.
"Your skin's brilliant. It's a huge organ. And then, your lungs have got this lining of sticky stuff that wafts out, keeps you safe. And then your stomach, as I say, it sterilizes whatever you eat. God and nature have given you an incredibly well defended fortress and you occupy that space for your life. But if you can jab a hollow needle, you go bypass your digestive system, you bypass your breathing, you bypass your skin's mighty defenses and you can inject whatever the hell you like into a human being.
"So that's why they chose the injection. And that's— And I think you need this diabolical lie of stupid, inventive viruses and understandable, but not through contagion. A friend of mine pointed out that in 6,000 years of writing of every culture on the planet, you will find no mention of contagion. No mention of contagion. Interestingly, funny, you would think they would have noticed that long before we— Whatever.
"I'm not sure, but I think [the contagion narrative] probably was going to be like 1700-1800. I think the people that started scarifying, which was to cut repeatedly the skin and then shove cowpox pus into people. That Jenner experiment, you know, that— It's all, it's another lie.
"You know, the heroic theorists, the heroic figures of science and medicine, I'm afraid, they're mostly made up, just like the heroic figures of literature are probably. Mostly. But I just want to tell you one. So that's the lie. Viruses, contagion, and vaccines. And I write it down as a mathematical equation. Virus lie plus contagion lie equals vaccine lie."
Country was warned, Government did not listen.
