    Taking over the AIB, crikey!
    Will that cost us too, if so how much approx? Serious question.

    Why in gods name pay 3 Billion for something worth 600 Million!

    No - the saddest day since Collins was shot was when Ireland were beaten by France in the World Cup playoffs.

    I only stopped crying last week.

    It is not what it will cost but the liabilities coming with it. The AIB was a far bigger bank with bigger problems than Anglo Irish Bank.

    Ireland as a nation has died tonight, expropriation is just around the corner and tomorrow people will awake to the stark reality of just how bad things are.

    Thats scaremongering.
    Everyones money is state guaranteed up to a certain figure.
    (Which I think is €100,000)

    Much better persons who are deeper into these financial areas should be able to confirm the exact figure.

    I'm leaving my accounts with the AIB right where they are. I'm not worried.

    The state itself is bankrupt and can't guarantee sh1t. The safest place for money is in an offshore bank now.

    Would you care to enlighten us all as to how that will happen?

    Do you not realise that the country already owns a 19% share in AIB?

    The Government has tonight Nationalised AIB, adding billions more to the National Debt and sending us over the edge. Tomorrow will be the darkest and saddest day in Ireland since Collins was shot.

    At the end of the day ask yourselves, what is money worth if you don't trust it!

    When the trust in money had evaporated the numbers mean nothing.

    What was it originally?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
