Ireland is not like Iceland. At this current time, the world is going through difficulties and Ireland is no different to any other country.
Unlike Iceland however...
1. Ireland uses the Euro so is
part of the Eurozone area.
2. Ireland has a low national debt
currently so even when this
debt now rises, it is starting
from a very low base.
3. Additionally Ireland has
a "rainy day" pot of cash in
the form of the Pension Reserve
Fund.
My brother had a good one a month ago.....the only difference between Iceland and Ireland is one letter- and 6 months!!
