The Celtic Tiger turned out to be a massive overdraft of money that never existed in reality.

Just because it was invisible doesn't make it a lie.It might be still there, having a snooze most probably.Cats sleep up to 18 hours a day.

Anyway if it was a lie how did so many people get bitten?

lowering corporation tax --> Celtic tiger.
Building too many house and paying too much for them --> economic meltdown.

AFAIK, the Celtic tiger was an ancient green striped member of the big cat species which, according to legend, lived in this country circa AD 1990 to 2007 approx. Though many have claimed to see the Celtic tiger, no proof has been aquired.
