Luck of the Irish: New Ireland (IRL)
2008-07-18 01:00:00 "Ireland is attracting global value hunters," says fund expert Carl Delfeld (http://www.chartwelletfadvisor-.com/), of Chartwell ETF Advisor (http://www.chartwelletfadvisor-.com/), who takes a contrarian look at the closed-end New Ireland Fund (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=irl) (NYSE: IRL (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=irl))."My ETF pick for the week is in honor of John Templeton not just because of his meeting his final summons this week at age 95 but because it highlights one of the key tenets of his legendary investment career."Templeton's first maxim was to buy at the point of 'maximum pessimism'. IRL trades at a 15% discount to net asset value."Ireland has gone from darling to outcast in less than a year in the eyes of the global investment community. "Rather than look for markets that were performing well, Sir John built a career looking for troubled or ignored markets that traded at attractive valuations."Due to vastly overvalued pro...

Lisbon Treaty - Yes vote just leads in Irish poll.
2008-06-08 17:11:00 From William Hill:Punters & Politicians Left Scratching Their Heads Following Latest Lisbon Treaty PollThe Yes Campaign has a slender 3% lead going into the final few days before Ireland?s referendum on the controversial Lisbon treaty. The latest Red C poll in the Sunday Business Post has the Yes campaign sitting on 42%, the No?s at 39%, and the undecided?s at 19%.Earlier in the week a TNS/mrbi poll indicated that the opponents to the Lisbon treaty had a 5 percentage point lead over those in favour of it.The latest Red C poll has also had an effect on bookmakers betting on the Lisbon Treaty. William Hill now make a YES vote their 2-7 favourite, and offer odds of 5-2 for a NO vote. Prior to today?s poll the bookies had made the No?s 8-11 favourite, however, they were forced to reassess their prices after seeing the Red C Poll.William Hill?s Irish spokesman Tony Kenny commented ?It still looks to close to call? he continued ?We?ve seen a lot of money for both sides of the debate, ...

2008-06-07 18:06:00 From William Hill:William Hill have dramatically altered their prices on the Lisbon treaty referendum following the latest opinion poll on the controversial EU proposals. The bookmakers previously offered odds of 11-2 for a NO vote, but strong support for the No campaign resulted in Hills cutting those odds to Even money, with a Yes vote now available at 8-11.The latest TNS/MRBI poll gave the No campaign a 5% lead. 35% said they were going to vote NO, 30% YES , 28% were undecided, and 7% said they were not going to vote.William Hill Irish spokesman Tony Kenny commented ?We originally offered odds of 1-10 for a YES vote, but all the money is coming for the NO side? He continued ?Right now the NO campaign seems to have all the momentum, but a week is a long time in politics, and we?re expecting to see a lot more twists and turns before the result is announced next Friday?The Irish referendum takes place on Thursday the 12th June, with the result announced the following day ? the super...

Irish odds on to vote NO in Lisbon Treaty referendum.
2008-06-06 15:42:00 William Hill are giving "even" odds for a YES vote in the Lisbon Treaty referendum. Those of us opposed to the treaty will be glad to hear that the NO vote is "odds on" - 8/11. This could be down to the latest poll held on the Treaty.If you are Irish, please vote NO for us, because we were not allowed a referendum as we would vote against the Treaty.

Irish look set to reject Lisbon Treaty.
2008-06-05 22:47:00 Hat tip to Iain Dale.From the Irish Times:The Lisbon Treaty is heading towards a shock defeat with the No side now in the lead, according to the findings of the latest Irish Times/TNS mrbi poll.It will take an unprecedented swing in the last week of the campaign for the Treaty to be carried.The poll shows the number of people intending to vote No has almost doubled to 35 per cent (up 17 points) since the last poll three weeks ago, while the number of the Yes side has declined to 30 per cent (down 5 points).The number of undecided voters is still a significant 28 per (down 12 points) cent, while 7 per cent won?t vote.The massive increase by the No vote since the last poll has mainly come through gains among undecided voters but, even more ominously for the Yes side, it has lost some support to the No camp.While the final outcome is still in the hands of undecided voters, the clear momentum is now with the No campaign, and it will take a dramatic shift in public attitudes over the nex...

Irish Referendum on the Lisbon Treaty - Funny.
2008-06-03 21:51:00 I came across this on The Tap Blog. I had to post on here as it cheered me up so much. Fine Gael, the biggest Party in Ireland's pro-EU governing coalition erected this voting meter in a Dublin mall. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Lisbon Treaty - Irish Referendum - End of Nations.
2008-05-28 08:15:00 I posted this video last month and seeing as the 12th of June Irish Referendum on the Lisbon Treaty is just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to post it again:This is a must watch, eye opening video from the Wise Up Journal.From their website:We set out to make a video about the pros and cons of the Lisbon Treaty and found out to our horror the lies, manipulations and deceit behind the EU. From MEPs, legal experts and EU researches the true nature of the EU unfolded, how it really operates from behind closed doors and away from prying eyes. We discovered the massive power grab away from citizens and nations to the elites that is being proposed in this treaty. Most shocking of all was how our elected representatives are willingly handing us over to this emerging Totalitarian Superstate by deception , propaganda and outright lies.This video details how the structures of the EU really operate, what the full significance of the Lisbon Treaty is and how it is the end o...

Not the Irish joke
2008-05-21 23:06:00 BBC says, "'A Leeds man has been dubbed the city's "dumbest criminal" by a councillor for posting videos of anti-social behaviour on the YouTube website.Andrew Kellett, 23, from Stanks Drive, Swarcliffe, published 80 videos and was given an interim anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) by Leeds magistrates.Kellett has been previously convicted of various offences but the Asbo stops him from boasting of his activities.The clips include Kellett being driven in a speeding car at more than 140 mph.Councillor Les Carter, chair of Safer Leeds - a partnership between police and local authorities aimed at cutting crime - said: "Kellett must be in the running to be Leeds' dumbest criminal."In the last three years we have seen a 32% reduction in crime in Leeds. If more criminals were as obliging, the city would be even safer."Leeds City Council have secured an interim Asbo against Kellett although he claims he was simply a bystander filming events.The council said that other YouTube videos sh...

Irish Referendum on the Lisbon Treaty 12th June 2008
2008-05-13 19:56:00 The date has been set for the Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The 12th of June could be the day the Irish save the UK from the EU superstate. The Irish government under their new Prime Minister, Brian Cowen are supporting the "yes" vote. However a yes result is not set in stone. In a recent poll 38 said yes, 28 no and 34 were undecided. A previous poll was even closer with only a 4 point gap between yes and no.It's clear that the strength of feeling is stronger amongst the "no" voters, and they are more likely to turn out on voting day. Here's hoping anyway.Come on you Irish beauties. Do Europe a massive favour and vote NO. Please!Sent from my BlackBerry wireless device

Bulgaria to attract more Irish tourists
2008-04-15 02:00:00 Overseas property investors could be set to benefit from growing tourism in Bulgaria. According to the Novinite news agency, the eastern European country is becoming especially popular with holidaymakers from Ireland.

This is likely to be a positive development for owners of rental accommodation in popular Bulgarian holiday resorts such as Bansko. Increased tourist numbers will lead to greater demand for temporary lodgings across the country, which in turn allows investors to collect higher returns. Official figures cited by Novinite show that 90,000 Irish holidaymakers visited Bulgaria last year. The predictions comes just officials in the UK forecast that more British tourists would soon head for eastern Europe.
