I congratulate Ireland on its brave stand — way to go!

If I were Irish, I’d want out of that whole mess altogether; and, from the looks of things, Ireland’s economy would do just fine. In fact, I’m just cynical enough to think it’s all about the money. Up till now, Ireland has been the recipient of EU loans, grants etc. — but Ireland’s books are shortly to go into the black. Cash cow for the EU, maybe?
