Guilty as charged. I must admit I thought I'd scored a real bargain with this share at 19 cents or so. How low can it go? Will an extension on Oct 31 promote a pullback or will we just have another year of Brexit paralysis? Italy into the mix not helping.
Wexford - unlucky in the semifinal. The whole country was behind you.

The EU doesn't exist to give free handouts to the UK following the treacherous Brexit vote. Johnson will take his medicine and engineer another referendum and be PM for the next ten years. The North must push for a border poll. Now or never.

Maybe if Varadkar and Micheal Martin grew a pair and called for a border poll the whole backstop issue could be resolved.

There will be no vacations. Only holidays. Too exposed to accumulate at this price but I will probably regret that if it returns above 7.

No to a second ref please god. Let's get a common sense mutually beneficial UK-EU deal but please please don't let them stay in the EU. They've never bought into the whole project. They can rejoin in a decade when the Eurosceptic right-wingers have left the stage and they have at least granted a border poll to NI.

We might still see Labour helping to push May's original deal over the line. That is the best scenario on offer. The idea of a hard Brexit actually seems to be gaining momentum with the British public so hopefully Labour will save the day before it's too late. I can't understand why there is so much opposition to the May deal.

They want us to help them get a watered-down backstop over the line. Lookit, May's deal is actually quite good do let's see how it evolves this week. No to a second ref. Too risky.

Talk about sitting on the fence!

Any other opinions on this before I launch back into this share? Wexford let's be having you!!

Any thoughts on tomorrow? Doesn't look she'll get the numbers. Where will that leave this share?

It does seem like a good opportunity to buy in to lower your average. No deal very unlikely, the question is whether they'll extend current arrangement or have another vote as it seems unlikely that May will get her deal over the line. Can't understand why pro-Brexit faction don't support her deal as it only increases the likelihood of another referendum. In a nutshell, what's the opposition's strategy on all of this?

Surely a Labour gov is the way out. Once Brexit is reversed Corbyn would be out on his ear within months. Be it a heave or something else. I wouldn't worry about having him in the hot seat at all. Wait for his first budget and then his government would fall. No harm done.

Hotdog -- I disagree. Extension granted to London to negotiate withdrawal will take the heat out of the situation. Likelihood of a British general election is increasing. That will result in the balance swaying towards a Brexit fudge (or second referendum), at the same time taking the DUP out of the equation. Perhaps a border poll could solve the backstop headache for everyone. Downward pressure this week related to Rome Brussels standoff?

I'm a believer! With you on this one all the way, 6.36 earlier today

6.55 now so I will have a punt. Looks like a very good price to me.

Any opinions as to whether this is a good time to buy? Need to reduce my average price (7.15).

Did you know Irish financial transaction tax is the highest in Europe? 1% (for transactions involving indigenous Irish-listed entities). What an extraordinary rip-off!

Foeign banks coming in was inevitable. Discounted prices (compared to AIB, BOI) being offered mortgages are still elevated compared to mainland Europe. Just goes to show how profitable the Irish banking sector will be in the medium term (if Brexit doesn't happen). BOI and AIB boots on the ground counts for a lot.

PGee - surely the collapse just reflects the growing downside risk with Brexit. Only now is the opposition really beginning to galvanise itself against the reality of a hard Brexit. London is in disarray. The best that can be hoped for is an extension till the spring and for a general election in the meantime.

Chris, settle down and have a cigar! The demographic shift in the UK has little or nothing to do with the EU. Excluding foreign labour (an "invasion" as you call it) is a recipe for disaster. If you scroll back down through the forum, another poster explained the logic behind the interest rate freeze. The ECB is hamstrung. Brexit was a delusional vote. Red bus £325m a week to the NHS. Even Liam Fox has as good as admitted that the whole thing was just a cod!
