Ireland. Sunk without trace.

News is belching out of the radio and elsewhere that Ireland, the land of my Grand Fathers has approached the EU for a bail out. Somewhere in the region of £50bn it seems is needed, but how long will this last? And was all the hair shirt austerity worth it when Greece has more or less carried on regardless whilst in receipt of it's own, "don't rock the boat and default " money.

And what about Portugal and Spain? What about Italy for God' sake? It is the seventh biggest economy in the world, and there is even talk if it being in trouble. If it is so are we.

But which county is not? And who are we all in trouble with?
