I wonder what UK, Germany etc promised to Ireland in exchange. The tax debate was strong since more than a decade and it was even stronger during the default of Ireland.
All talks before have failed - I cant imagine what EU had to promise to them to change their minds...
- alphadevx 12y agoIreland never defaulted.
- Qzmp 12y agoNot only did Ireland not default but it was strongarmed by the ecb into repaying loans foreign banks had made to irish banks. The reason for this was to prevent 'contagion' ie to save the european banking system. Ireland was later given some assurances about being looked after for doing this which have so far not been backed up
