    Kenny has said today that he isn't appearing on the TV3 debate even though TV3 has offered to replace Vincent Browne with Ursula Halligan. Pity, I believe Enda would get on ok against Gerry.

    Talk about an understatement.

    Ireland's bailed-out banks may need as much as €4 billion more loan loss provisions than assumed in stress tests last year, which could "tip the balance in favor" of the country requiring a second aid program, Deutsche Bank said in a report today.

    "A new, even modest, increase in capital requirements could deter sovereign investor participation and tip the balance in favor of the sovereign requiring a second loan program," said Deutsche Bank analysts David Lock and Jason Napier.

    The government's plan to introduce new personal insolvency laws creates "risks", even as politicians and the financial regulators seek to avoid widespread residential mortgage debt forgiveness, the bank said.

    "Although resilient during 2009 and 2010, mortgage arrears have risen sharply over the past year, house prices are continuing to fall, market liquidity is limited, and over half of customers are now in negative equity," said Deutsche Bank analysts in the report. "We fear the size of negative equity balances for some mortgage holders may greatly reduce their incentive to cooperate, pushing them towards default."

    Looks like Deutsche Bank are saying what the Government doesn't want to admit. Maybe we'll see a few more reports like these in the lead up to Thursday week?

    and?

    Seriously, he would be the biggest idiot to give a definite answer. Noonan also said that we might, not we won't, need a bailout. Why in the world would you assume a politician would know for definite if we need a 2nd bailout at the end of 2013? Would you actually vote for someone who gave a definitie answer mid 2012? That sounds bizarre. :confused: Vote yes or no, you're more then welcome, but seriously, to say that senior politicians won't give a definite answer on such a thing is a bad thing is baffling.
    Noonan didn't say we might -

    " Finance Minister Michael Noonan said today that he believes Ireland will not need a second bailout.

    Minister Noonan said that a 'Yes' vote in the EU Treaty referendum is essential to us getting back on the markets because it would give us access to the ESM fund which the markets need as back-up.

    "It's not so much that I think we need a second bailout, I actually don't think we do" he said.

    "I think we'll get back into the markets and we'll access market funding.
