@JBRAFTREE: The above individual is making an investment in Irish bonds because he wants a big return; it's about making money not charity. It is good to see such activity but at the end of the day it's a business decision motivated by the desire to make the most gains, so let's not get carried away. Any suggestion that Irish people are not helping 'with their mess' is foolish.

Wow, finally the U.S.A. is investing in my ancestral homeland rather than in China and India!
