    Yeah that Sean FitzPatrick fella should realy change his name to a more British sounding one :)

    Indeed, because all the billions are owed to the bank which was chaired by Seán Fitzpatrick? :rolleyes:


    Now, before starting this (incredibly stupid, it must be said) thread, you could have read, among other articles, the following:

    British banks have £140 billion exposure to Ireland's economic crisis

    UK banks exposed for $230bn on loans in Ireland


    Next time, do some basic research before starting a thread

    Thankyou Britain, I know, you reared us till we could manage our own independence, then you let go out into the big wide world, it was a difficult parting as these things are, but now we are running back to you daddy to help pay our gambling debts.

    Gambling debts? I see some poor unfortunates, still haven't a clue about who was gambling what.

    And this largely irrelevant nonsense negates the enormous exposure of British financial institutions, whose government is now giving a loan to this state, to Ireland, how? At least try and stay focused.

    Why are you trying to claim this loan is an act of charity by the British state to the Irish state?

    I think it's an incredibly generous gesture to offer their errant colony a subsidised loan, perhaps you need a to inject yourselve with a dose of something if you're going to hang around AH :)


    EDIT

    Or would you prefer I started a thread about tipping?

    They failed to colonise the Island.

    Subsidised loan? More like a bilateral loan - We're paying interest.

    As in the bankers and developers who "invested" expecting a big return or the consumer who also invested expecting their house to rise in value.

    You do know the consumer could have rented. So yes the consumer were gamblers as well.

    Do you not want mammy's help.

    We did lose our financial independence, apart from a full foreign power invasion or an economic collapse it doesn't get much worse then that.

    An economic collapse is still a possible, we are no-way near out of this crisis. Or who knows.

    The banks you speak of apart from BOI are all owned by the taxpayer, so a bank default is now a sovereign default, it is all public debt.

    That is were we are now.

    Because of the behaviour of a handful of unhung traitors. :mad:

    If FG and Lab had any balls, they'd call a referendum and ask the people to vote on paying back private debts.

    If the people vote against repaying those private loans, the governemnt tells the foreign banks to shove it.

    You cannot have a fair society when you are expecting the taxpayer to foot the bill for private losses. The banks, after all, weren't complaining when they were making huge profits.

    F**k them.

    We were all culpable with our celtic tiger madness and we can contemplate that in our conservatories and decking in the typical Mediterranean Irish climate.

    And those private losses now are all mortgage defaults. So it is down to us.
    If you have a twinkling of an understanding of economics and our present exchequer borrowing requirements you would then realise a default is simply not an option.

    We will get another EMF/ECB bailout and we will eventually default. Lets hope I am very wrong. Otherwise its Greece or Argentina for Ireland for the next 20 years.

    Why should the British tax payer pay for a mess created in Ireland?

    The mess was created between the Irish, British and European elites. When the average Irish person was being raped with skyhigh house prices, all the elite were happy.

    Now that it's crashed, the average Irish person is expected to foot the bill for the losses of private institutions? :confused::confused:

    Private Irish banks made huge mistakes lending too much, as did British, French and German banks.

    They are not my problem and should have been let fail. That's how capitalism works.

    No taxpayer of any country should have been made to hand over huge sums of money to keep those corrupt institutions afloat.

    My relations over there, Irish born who emigrated are livid over "paying for a big Irish p1ss-up", as they call it. I totally agree with them. The very people that are whinging about this loan, from our good neighbours, are probably the same people who are in personal debt up to their eyeballs.

    I'll say it again, this money will probably go straight into the banks to fatten up their balance sheets. The public will not see one red cent of this. The same happened 2 years ago when the Irish government gave the Irish banks 9 billion of taxpayers money, to help balance their mortgage books. The banks kept the money, and continued to pursue struggling homeowners for mortgage arrears * sorry, going off topic here*
