Yes? I still remember this facts. The Irish crisis was made in Ireland. You all seem intent to forget that.

Even if, so what? If i see a thief robbing a man, i don't care, because he is not robbing me? It is naive to think that Ireland is some kind of a basket case. Only 2 yrs ago politicians all over wanted to be like irish themselves. Politicians are neoliberal puppets everywhere and in every party.
