This thing is like a soap opera The question is what is going to happen with IRE... AIB looks to be "stable" but at what cost did they get the deposits?? Honestly I thought they would go there. The state is going to make sure they get a return on the bailout money. The politicians heading towards power seem to all be in agreement that IRE should stand without state control. Two major things didnt happen...the deposits went else where and the insurance did not get sold. Any thoughts out there??
