    What are you on about? Seriously - you dont actually say anything in your post that makes sense.

    If I have to guess, Id think youre rambling incoherently about the discrepancy in views on the demand for Irish bonds between John Corrigan of the NTMA ("We expect the market to clear the auction. The yield will probably be somewhat more elevated than we would wish it to be but there is a good following of Irish bonds") and Domenico Crapanzano, of Jefferies ("There are just no buyers out there for Ireland because of worries over its economy.")

    (sorry for double post - error on return page)

    As far as this issue goes the article seems to be todays official line and this is how it is now. Ordinary Joe can feel that explains that so we are not too bad we will let him get on with it he does know what he is doing. Like ordinary Joe I cant find the link to the initial Independent Report on Barclays. Nor the Report itself. So I cant judge how much the orginal Independent article was suppose to be misleading. And how much this one is saying 'don't you bother about that. I'll deal with it'. The title is also difficult to credit in the context of what it actual means. It is the transfer of Ireland's wealth to Anglo not just a bail out.


    I get two impressions from the article there was a kind of good cop bad cop. The earlier article was the bad cop this is the good cop. On the telegraph it links extensive other relevant articles that really have to be viewed together to get the whole picture. That is one point here it is always today's sound bite. Unless it's something a little more tabloid an issue then its followed in detail and reminders everywhere. On Serious issues readers loose clarity and have mixed understandings depending on what day they read a newspaper. Irish media appears to work like this.


    I not saying I am completely right I just said spot the difference. One presents an issue with lots of serious elements and questions and the other appears to be more explaination on behalf of Mr Leninhan saying no need to worry about all that its fine. With short sentences for reference and explanation.


    The problem is should the media not be more rigurous in its connecting issues. Its so very easy to firefight or spin when there is no acess to a fuller background.


    The bigger point is what is being passed up as ok, is in reality nia on impossible. Ireland cannot sustain the payoff to Anglo and it should not be ever at this stage explanations should not be left to one man who shares the responsibility to 'explain' without something more substantial. Its all too easy to find credible. Given the way the media dripped the Cowen thing on for days and other issues. The transfer over the next few days is not just the biggest issue of the week but of the last 80 years.


    That's all.
