Mac,
Switched on folk realised that Icelandic products were to be avoided early on this year and everyone laughed at those absurd statements by Icelandic officials in its banking system's twilight weeks.
The Irish g'ment decision was certainly the biggest instance of "beggar my EU neighbour" yet and Nigel Farage could be heard laughing miles away as his next General Election campaign was handed to him on a platter, but you only have to see how funds migrated from the UK to Ireland to see what (in hindsight) a shrewd short term move it was. I agree though - Ireland does seem to be over exposed in too many of the important areas and the OECD survey makes for interesting reading.

If thats your kind of thing.
