    The Nat Solidarity Bond was annound by the Finance Minister in the 2010 Budget. It was not really commented on at the time. Maybe because details were not fully prepared and/or made available at the time.

    Does anyone know what sort of take up there has been on this. Rates are quite competitive over 10-years:(.
    Your investment is not locked-in and can be encashed at any time.

    Would there have been a bigger take up if the government were more popular?

    According to here http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2010/07/18/story50546.asp they'd taken 107million Euro by mid-July 2010.
    The bond had been available for a couple of months at that stage. I can't seem to find any more up to date figures unfortunately.
