Ireland economy forced to take EU bailout

The Celtic Tiger's roar is no more. Two decades of uninhibited economic growth have come to a shuddering halt in the wake of the financial crisis and the Irish government and its people are now feeling the pain. Forced to accept an IMF/EU bailout, things are now so bad some fear a return to the past when Ireland's young were forced to look overseas in the search for opportunity.

Bailout? You mean high interest loan needed to pay the debts of private companies (the banks) because our government were so stupid (and corrupt) to make them ours. We are borrowing money from European banks, to give to our banks, who will pay back the same European banks that gave them the money in the first place to gamble. So they win TWICE. The banks give them the money they borrowed and the Irish pay them back for a loan............ corruption has gone to new heights.

I'm English but it irks me when you think of how hard the Irish fought against the British Establishment for freedom. Now their own bribed politicians have sold away Ireland's sovereignty for their own ambitions of greed. The fact that up until 2008 the Taoiseach earned more than the President of the USA says it all. Michael Collins will be turning in his grave. Both Brian Cowen & especially Bertie Ahearn may well be attending the Royal Garden Party next there all pissing in the same pot

You forget to mention the Irish people voted NO to join the EU 2 time IN A ROW. And they just re did the vote again paying people to vote. It was a forced vote, Ireland never really fairly joined the EU.

Because the people in power are not elected by the people, nor can they be removed by the people.

I believe in the fighting Irish spirit,go Irish give them a fight that they wont forget.

Its not over until the fat lady sings my friend. In the end, we'll triumph. The German, French & Brits couldn't dominate Europe by force & they wont be able to do it by financial means either. In the end, people will cotton on & then they will learn the true fighting spirit of the Irish people. A nation that despite 800 yrs of genocide & ethnic cleansing, famine, depression, etc always held on to its culture, traditions & independence & always will. Tiocaidh ar la
