@Stacy,
Evans-Pritchard is ignoring the greater loss of sovereignty, to the EU and IMF, faced by Greece in order to get 0.48% lower rates.
It’s a fairly standard piece for the The Telegraph, in this case using Ireland to point-score against the EU. Does AEP now endorses riot to temper oligarchy? [Like the characterisation of C18th England as 'aristocracy tempered by the mob']
Probably not, so it’s really just a debating point.

The Irish believe in Purgatory and suffering. The Pilgrims believed in the Protestant Work ethic and the Jews are forbidden to charge their fellow countrymen interest.
friend of mine says that he and his family would never switch their allegiance from Fianna Fail no matter how corrupt or incompetent they are. And he isnt unique. This is how the loyalists of the 2 main parties in this country think.

The founder and editor of whistle-blower website WikiLeaks says Swedish authorities still haven’t given him details of the crime he is alleged to have committed.
“The present investigation of issue (there are no charges), is one alleged non-sexual ‘harassment,’” Julian Assange wrote Thursday in an e-mail to CNN. “I have no idea what this is and no details have been provided to us.”
Swedish authorities arrested Assange “in absentia” over the weekend on two charges — rape and molestation, a non-sexual charge that is similar to harassment.
The chief prosecutor has since revoked the arrest warrant and dropped the rape charge, though Assange still faces the molestation allegation.

“I questioned DoJ about the drug links and was assured that the transfers were above board and not drug related,” Eitel continued. “I accepted their explanation for a while but in 1996 I did a data base search on a major drug trafficker named Luis Carlos Herrera-Lizcano who was John Ford’s partner way back to the original C-130 transfers out of Australia in 83-84. Herrera was the owner and CEO of Trans Latin Air and in 1994 he was indicted by the U.S. Attorney in Chicago for using C-130s to move billions of dollars of cocaine into the U.S.”
Herrera entered into a plea agreement in 1996 and admitted to having trafficked in drugs since the early and mid eighties. According to both American and Mexican newspaper accounts, as well as records in federal court, Herrera’s aircraft came from T&G and Woody Grantham.

“There are worries that the cost of banking recapitalization is now beyond the reach of the government.” Bill Blain
Can’t Ireland just print some money to payoff its debt? Oops! No it can’t. That’s what it gets for yielding its sovereignty.
Borrowing money is absurd anyway since it is mostly electronic booking entries or pieces of paper. Can’t the Irish government create those itself?
Shouldn’t the private sector be able to do the same?
So now the whole world enters a depression just because of accounting entries? That is beyond absurd.

Mother earth .
Tis was was posted to my FB a/c this am.
The Shell monitoring website, royaldutchshellplc.com, posted a letter last week on the Corrib gas project by “a former Shell employee in Ireland” which reveals that Shell “seem to have treated the Irish like just another third world country. They corrupt the government, try to steal the resources, pay no taxes, and treat the people like crap. Shell is making no friends amongst the Irish and I suppose they don’t care as long as they can manipulate (buy off?) the government…the State of Alaska gets up to a 20% royalty on oil and gas produced from State lands. That is ‘off the top’, not after expenses, return of invested capital, etc. That royalty did NOT stop development of Prudhoe Bay, nor will it stop development of the gas reserves in Alaska. The State of Alaska has benefited immensely from the oil royalty revenues… It seems to me that the Irish government should be able to collect a similar ‘off the top’ royalty from the Corrib gas. I seriously doubt that it would stop development of those reserves. Shell would squeal like a stuck pig, but so what. The Irish government need only look to Norway to see what responsible management of their country’s natural resources could do for them.”

Things in that neck of the woods (ooh poor pun) are buzzing, what a contrast to Ireland. However the general impression the Germans have of the Irish is that we appear to be getting our house in order (haha if only they knew).

@gussy – you’re back you ol’ crank!! how was your vacation? did you miss us? I think I speak for all of us (lol) when I say we all missed you!!!
I get the feeling that the ECB realises the debts are unpayable to its banking clients so therefore its policey is to sustain the extraction of wealth until the state is at or near collapse.
Then only then they will restructure the banking debts to enable us to continue to pay the now higher sov debt that was expanded to cushion the banking sector.
Out of curiosity I would like to find a answer to a simple question that nobody seems to have a answer to.
How much yearly interest is payed on Irelands external bank paper ?
Nobody seems to have a answer to this apperantly simple question.
It is very curious.

I think our government has not grasped that what is happening right now is economic warfare. They tried the ‘good oul little Ireland’ and ‘good reputation’ angle. That might well be all and good up in Temple Bar having the craic with the tourists but this is international finance lads.
We’ve bowed to the rating agencies (corrupt as f**), we’re attached at the hip to Trichet and the ECB, whose policies will clearly be suited to the French and German industrial bases and we’ve pumped more money into black hole banks than people can get their head around. Meanwhile, 14% unemployment, crumbling health service, mass brain-drain exodus and a waning and tired population.
We’re paying more now than Greece to borrow. Crazy. As for why the protests haven’t been bigger, I really can’t fathom it. People here have had it relatively good (looking back it was an illusion, even the health service was a disgrace during the good times) and the majority still expect that things turn around, with bullshit business cycle arguments. We’re going no-where fast.
Max commented before about the conservatism of the Irish financial press; Morgan Kelly gave warnings, shunned, McWilliams “go hang yourself”. There were few but stern warnings – but the music kept playing. And Brian Cowen, finance minister at the time is now ‘leading the country’.
Who runs Ireland? Not the people for sure.

@seosamhogallunai
This value you mention is of little use if you are dead because of the turmoil related to climate change. I am rocking on two discussions. Economically Europe has plenty of resouces as fas as I can see, in contrast with the US. Environmentally we are also better of because we harbour less idiots and are less divided (although the US is trying to change that)..But we should not use the oil, we should replace it and get alternative energy gold mines..
Hello, the Irish people make good peasants (while the rest of Europe embraced modernity in the 1870′s, it arrived in Ireland in the late 1970′s), first we had the Church lord it over us, then the Anglo-Irish aristocracy, so what if we know have the banks lording it over us, who cares, it’s a reversion to the mean. Our young people will leave the country as they have done so many times before, those remaining will pay off the debt, the ECB will continue on buying Irish debt, same old same old, one knows ones place in Irish society, one mustn’t get above one’s station.
@Marc Authier
Yep, No excuses there, although, ultimately, we have both the industry and the energy to back up the bubble related inflation (which happens when someone sells a house with a huge profit because a bank just put the new owner in debt)..And we already have low wage countries in the neigborhood, akin to Mexico, but without the drugwar. Sorry, we are m u c h better off..
Mother earth
The €420,000,000,000+ Ireland is giving away (to Shell).
Vast quantities of gas and oil have been discovered under Irish waters in the Atlantic Ocean over the past 15 years. The Government’s figures put the value of these reserves at €420 billion (€420,000,000,000), but this is a very conservative estimate. The real figure is likely to be much higher, especially as the global price of oil and gas rises (see explanation below*).
So what will the Government be spending these new-found riches on? The answer is: Nothing. This wealth will be leaving Ireland, thanks to a deal made between the corrupt Haughey government and multinational oil companies. Minister Ray Burke (later jailed for corruption) changed the law in 1987, reducing the State’s share in our offshore oil and gas from 50% to zero and abolishing royalties. In 1992, Minister Bertie Ahern reduced the tax rate for the profits made from the sale of these resources from 50% to 25%

O’Neil ? Hummmm ? Think there is lack of objectivity from this frenchman ?:)
Just kidding. Wishfull thinking. You add one irish downgrade by here and another downgrade by there and suddenly the snowball becomes a wall of snow and an avalanche. Maybe a butterlly downgrade. The problem is that there are many butterflies squashed. All these squashed butterflies will globally affect all the structure. In due time.
The Irish are disinclined towards rioting as a reult of a twenty year war in the North. Even in the South it was a case of having to shut off when you’d hear this stuff all the time – We are fully aware of a Mafia like hold that Fiana Fail andFiana Gael have – Watch the space the giant awakens soon?
