    Came across this on politics.ie for those interested, claims to have insider information on what they were discussing:

    Says this about Ireland:
    Ireland

    The discussion on Ireland was led off with sobering statistics which none of the attendees wanted to hear. Just like Greece, Ireland is an economic nightmare, close to becoming yet another European economic protectorate. Even though the official statistics of unemployment is up to 15%, Bilderberg internal numbers are much closer to 21%. Not to be outdone by the spectacularly bad news, the interest payments are half of all the income tax raised in the country and the debt is growing. What´s more, the total debt is 100% of Gross Domestic Product.

    Ireland´s unpaid bank debt, around €125 billion, as well as Irish State fiscal debt, courtesy of EU-IMF partnership has weighed down the Irish economy and Irish taxpayers with a burden so great that it is beyond Ireland’s capacity to carry it.

    What is inevitable, admitted Bilderberg attendees, is just like Greece, Ireland will need a second bailout from the EU-IMF. Others were even more blunt. “The European Union is in a survival crisis,” said one European Bilderberger. What seems to worry Bilderberg is the lack of fortitude and political will across the European Union. As one Bilderberg financial analyst stated, “the markets are stuck between the rock and the hard place. The markets can cope with good news and they can cope with bad news, but what the financial markets can’t stand, is indecision. And that’s all we have across the board. Nobody has any ideas how to get out of this.”

    But, as another Bilderberg bluntly reminded the attendees, “it is not one but three crisis we have to deal with: a debt crisis, a political-economy crisis, and a political crisis.” And as Bilderberg knows, it is impossible to deal with all three at the same time.

    Bilderberg has admitted that the Irish banks are in over their head, having tremendous difficulties raising funds, while at the same time, the banks are bleeding money, as people have lost faith in the system. With the Northern Rock experience in Britain still fresh in everyone’s mind, the Irish are not taking any chances. For now, the mainstream press has kept this information under wraps, but as Bilderberg admitted, “it is just a matter of time before it explodes in our faces.”

    One Irish Bilderberger admitted that the Irish banks could very well run out of money before the Irish government does.

    However, what worries Bilderberg is the reaction of the Irish citizens. As one Bilderberg asked, “will Ireland want to borrow money to pay back the bondholders and European banks who gambled on the Irish boom?”

    To solve the mounting crisis, European government is proposing a massive power grab as part of a long-range plan to save the Union. If the plan is approved, the EU government will set the rules in the future and police itself and any nation, which breaches the rules or disagrees with the draconian measures implemented by the EU, will have their voting rights withdrawn. As one European Bilderberg openly admitted, “What we are heading towards a form of real economic government.”
