Re: A military coup in Ireland? (none / 1)
No, no, no, Frank. A "military coup" is when the military refuses to use tanks to crush an IMF riot.

Obviously, that danger is present as long as the Fianna Fail or Fine Gael are in government - because they might be stupid enough to both provoke an IMF riot and order it crushed.
