Northern Ireland's such a charming place. :?

Ireland can't afford to have it back right now so you ain't gonna get rid of it any time soon. (8+p

Actually even the republicans in the north would not want to join Eire right now, because it is so broke. :lol:

Somewhat. More a property bubble that burst, in the main. The point is, the republic's economy is in a state only marginally better that Greece's.

This is the cover of one of the RoI's newspapers shortly after things went off down the creek without a paddle...

Always brings a smile when I remember it...

It would have been bad with the excessive over investment and speculation in property. What really screwed things up was guaranteeing the banks. They were so insolvent that they immediately dragged the country down. Add in three years of austerity and you have a country with living standards decimated and mass emigration and still facing default. What surprises me is why they are not rioting like the Greeks?
