More misinformation from Curt..The Government bailed out ONLY Irish financial institutions...now including some Credit Unions...understandable mistake though, he's not Irish...so needs to blame somebody, anybody, for consequences of decisions made in Dublin...

@Towntroll - "democratically agreed Irish Home Rule" - lol by who - the british parliament? Pearse was half "british" - what nonsense - he was half english but wholly Irish in terms of nationalism (of course, anglo ethnic supremacy - now mostly latent except among internet brit trolls - does not recognize civic nationalism irrespective of the current cheap labor project in the british terror state). The influence of the anglo-sphere created the Irish financial difficulties - degenerate anglo-materialism with its boom bust cycle and the vision of industrial estate Ireland pushed by the anglophile Dublin cartel. Had Ireland refused to bail out the creditors of international banks the debt story would be far different.

Dear bunkerhill - The question is quite simple - How could any US Citizens chose to 'side' with Nazi Germany, after Hitler had declared war on the US? and I'm not 'anti - Irish'...just anti the one-sided version that passes for Irishness (mostly by out of touch non-Irish) on this site...an example being the outcry about the QE2 visit, which was later voted the top highlight of 2011 by listeners to Ireland's most influential radio show...

Dear Dano - I recall you were the poster who said we were "anti-royal," not your exact words, and right you are. As I said previously we did have that US revolution and Bunker Hill is the resting place for one of our ancestors, a 26 year old farmer from New Hampshire who along with so many other colonists took on the English royal gypsies along with their Hession troops sent by a german royal gypsy cousin. We fought the lazy, imbred idiots off but they are trying to get back in. They will have a hell of a struggle. Where do you live and are you a butler or a commoner under the royals? With due respect we cannnot respond to your question as we have no idea what you are talking about.
If you live in the Republic of Ireland, why are you so against every thing they stand for. Lets give praise to the many Germans, Japanese, Irish and all those around the world who stood up to gypsies calling themselves royal or dictators and fought for peace. Please stop bashing Ireland.

bunkerhill – Surprised that you, a ‘lifetime History scholar’, have such a hazy recall of how the US got drawn into the world wars…WW1 saw the Germans sink a number of US merchant vessels (generally considered an act of war by most nations) while still nominally at peace, and then foolishly offer the Mexican government assistance in ‘recovering’ some southern US states (the Zimmerman Telegram), and WW2 saw Hitler declare war on the US a few days after Pearl Harbor…How any Americans, regardless of ancestry, could have sided with a declared enemy state you fail to explain??

Kevinkehoe: Don't be rude. It undermines your agrument! I never mentioned who we owe the money to ~ but it is a painful fact that we just DO! Besides, the systematic mis-management of Ireland has endured since 1922 'independence', but I accept Biffo and his Bowsies brought us to the Nadir! Remember the current Finance Bill was passed before the collapse of Cowan's calamity and those presently in Office knowingly voted for it too! So you are dreaming,Kevin, if you think a simple change of government will make the debt disappear. Also: don't confuse the money paid to the banks by the last 'Government', and the IMF/ECB Bailout Funds we are now existing on are very different matters, old chap! For the record, I consider the present coalition Government is meeting it's agreed duty to it's life-saving Creditors in a mature and sophisticated way; their real struggle is to wake the people up to realising just how bad things are: e.g enduring Protest Movements about a nominal €100 per ANNUM Household charge which is not even a full WEEKS child allowance and less than they probably spend in the Pub at the weekend!

Given the bad publicity "The Republic of Ireland" has experienced regards WWII, there is one more never mentioned country I would like to see given considerable study in this regard. This country is now being touted as a great place to live and a truly benevolent society, economically sound. That country is Sweden. Sweden of course has a "royal family" related to all their cousins across Europe including Engand. I will not say UK, because if there is anyone in the areas other than England you don't matter. British is the term applied to people entering England, and everyone world wide believes British is English. In the 1970's the Swedish population lived on 20% of the national gross while 80% went to the royals.
Today they pay 57% taxes, are taking care of from the cradle to the grave, but can never rise above their lowly position. There is no incentive to work harder as they are then taxed more to take care of the population who has dropped out of supporting the "royals." Like other countries controlled by the royal inbred cousins across Europe, Swedish children were down in the mines at 12 years of age. Sweden, probably in rebellion, collaborated with the Germans in WW1 and WWII. And yet they are still regarded so highly since they are still subserviant to the royal cousins and their little collaborations with the "
German Leaders" at the time is not mentioned as they are still supporting their "royals." We knew so many unhappy American Swedes who told us horror stories about their homeland. We also know Norwegians who still regard the Swedes as traitors. This is a complex world and we have to start looking to the meglomaniacs who think they are truly entitled to live lives of luxury at the expense of decent people. They will murder and maim to maintain their palaces and estates and now we have a chance to truly look at the false histories we have been presented with.

Towngate: The Irish State was in the last administration run by gangsters and traitors and the present ones coned the voters into believing that they would be different, all lies. The hardworking Irish taxpayer does not owe the Corrupt blood sucking bankers in Wall St and City of London the extra billions they are burdened with and if you had a brain you would know that. But hopefully all that will change when we vote them out and install a true Republican government, pity we have to wait 3 more years or maybe not.

War has always been about innocent people destroyed by a few inbred maniacs or bullies at the top, each of whom thought they would come out on top. Where is the discussion about neutral Switzerland where all the money was? Why pick on the newly formed tiny Republic of Ireland. As many posters here have said so many native Irish fought in the "British" army, along with millions of their descendants who fought in the American and Australian armies. Seven German Generals recognized early on that Hitler was a maniac and tried to kill him after consulting with their Catholic and Lutheran leaders as this was fraticide. They failed and met horrible ends. The largest population in the US at the time was German Americans as it also was in WWI. If the German-Americans had chosen to side with Hitler everything would have been lost. Instead they fought against their own ancestral people. Is there anyone out there who doesn't know "Eisenhower" and in General Dwight D. Eisenhower, is a German name. American Germans were ostracized at home and often changed their names. The Japanese-Americans also gave tremendous service for the US against Japan, their ancestral home in spite of the fact that there families were put in US concentration camps. Look to the maniacs at the top who have caused in the past and are still causing tremendous hardship for the decent, hardworking people of the world. Ireland did their very best and even at present allow the US acess to Shannon. German submarines were found trolling US waters and certainly the US was not their ally.

Stop trying to make Ireland significant during WW11 Ireland is a boile on the western edge of Europe of no significance today,yesterday or tomorrow
Really so where would the Yanks refuel for their wars in Afghan and Iraq if not for Eire ? Why would millions of Yanks claim to be from Eire if we were of so little significance ? Why do the normal US leaders all seek to come here during their term and claim to have a bit of Irish in them ?
As for ww2, why should be back the UK up ? as they declared war on Germany for invading a sovereign nation and yet they still held 6 of our counties back then and still do as well as controlling AUSTRALIA, India, Canada, South Africa,Hong Kong,parts of China through dictatorship

KevinKehoe: I don't know which is worse - US or UK. ~ Anyway,you are totally wrong on both counts,old buddy,old chap! Yeah, most countries live 'on tick'. ~ but they know it and can work hard to repay it! The eternally delusional Irish State pretends the shamefully begged money they are now living on,is earned! That's the big pathetic difference!

Hey Towngate, I'm guessing your American or British, and how much is your country in hock ? last estimates put USA owing Trillions of $ to the privately owned FED, other world banks and China. Britain like the US has no problems getting borrowings but still owes billions.
