Default Irish mess

I'm on the horns of a dilemma

I'm half Irish (mother is from Co Mayo) and I want to see Ireland prosper

But when we can't afford our own public services, and everything seems to be slash and burn, how are we affording to lend Ireland £7bn? Where is the money coming from? More borrowing?

Isn't it more important that we spend the money on ourselves? Or will it simply cost us more in the long term if the Irish economy fails, would Northern Ireland collapse too? I dunno.

My rellies over in Mayo and Galway have all worked damned hard and they are embarrassed and deeply upset - as usual, it's nothing to do with normal people. Banks... again
