This idea just sounds like the stranglehold the world elite already have on the markets via there worldwide corporations, it would be like turning over your country and everything in it to these scum.
Everybody is quick to blame Europe and not themselvs. take respoinsibility for your own actions, quit blaming somebody else.
Fact:
Europe made Ireland an economic powerhouse when it entered, Irealnd was the poster boy of Europe and rightfully so. Ireland government fcuked it up THEMSELVES but instead of take responsibility for it, they blame Europe, thats easy right? Ireland sitll holds 33 BILLION dollars of US debt, WTF for? They missmanaged their own economy.
Britain, same thing, an inept government and probably considered the most tyrannical in Europe, again too easy to blame Europe and not themselves.
Greece, well yeah, corrupt LOCAL government anybody?
Europe made countries successful, the local governments FCUKED IT UP THEMSLVES.

Surely the US was however diverse still comparatively homogenous compared to the massive regional differences that are seen in Europe. Accents in England change within 10 miles, words mean different things, cultural understanding morphs significantly. Would this not cause much more tension in a Europe whose citizens see their individual cultural heritages under attack from the blender that is closer union?

And what do you mean by holding 33 billion dollars of US debt? Where are you getting this figure from? Is this money owed by US institution to Ireland or the other way around?

www.treasury.gov...
Ireland 36.1
Sorry my bad, its 36.1 BILLION dollars.
What does holding that much of US securities do for Ireland now?
Seriously, YOU CANNOT AFFORD IT.edit on 17-8-2011 by JennaDarling because: (no reason given)

Well the numbers declined from 55billion to 33billion in a year so somethings obviously happening.
Are the conspiracy theorists right? Was the banking crisis a rouse for the next step towards the New World Order. A unified Europe would become a superpower that within a couple of decade s could feasibly challenge US dominance in foreign affairs. What next?

Are they owned by the Irish government or Irish financial institutions? They also presumably pay an interest rate

Being on that list as the COUNTRY I would infer that is the soverign government treasury that holds it, otherwise they would list the companies as the holder as other securities list.
It sounds more like an Irish - American thing work here rather than a good financial decision for a bankrupt country.

I don't think so, the Irish government doesn't have the money to suddenly buy 3 billion worth of US treasury bonds. It appears they are held by financial institutions operating out of the IFSC in Dublin

It went UP from 33 to 36!! thats BILLIONS of DOLLARS; where did you get the money from eh?
Why do you need to hold that MUCH in BILLIONS when your country is BANKRUPT! and going onto a second bailout. WTF?
And you cry about Europe being the problem? That clearly shows it is the LOCAL government treasury being the problem. LOCAL.
Those are not small numbers for a BANKRUPT country.
Can somebody explain WHY holding that much in US securities makes sense, when that country is down the crapper too along with their own?
What was the amount of the bailout for ireland? How much dent would 36.1 BILLION DOLLARS put in that?

Got any info on that? Either way, the banks there are failing and running out of money and a second bailout is heading your way.
I could go work in Ireland if I choose or the UK, I choose NOT to, because I am not going to bail them out due to their own missmanagement, There are better countries in Europe; T

Look at the budget, you won't find it there. The IFSC also accounts for the majority of Irish external debt

yes I am well aware Ireland's last bet for the country is on Tourism.
I am also aware why Dublin was EMEA HQ's for many companies, tax breaks, same in the UK, same anywhere really for large companies. That is the only reason they setup shop, that is the only reason they setup shop in Belfast too, tax breaks. lets not fool ourselves.
Once those tax breaks go away, those companies move on and the jobs go.
Frankly tourism will not save Ireland, not with its current debts, if your betting on lots of Yanks to go to Ireland on vacations, they cant afford it.

Another ignorant comment, nobody mentioned tourism yet you bring it up
Anyway Irish exports are also performing strongly, you'll be glad to know.
