    Considering both Ireland and Greece received IMF/ECB/EU bailouts with tough austerity conditions attached, it is easy to understand why people took to the streets in protest.
    -> I have examined both bailouts, both were strict, all encompassing and extreme.
    What I fail to see is WHY there is such a large difference in protests mobilization in both countries. It seems people protest in Greece, but do not bother in Ireland. I have difficulty finding a reason for such differences.

    could you clarify exactly why this belongs in Economics as opposed to politics (or perhaps even 'Irish economy'). Thanks.
