The Irish aren't going gentle into that goodnight, they are going to rage, rage against the IMF plight

The much maligned bailout package forced on the now vassal state of Ireland by the EU and IMF may not come to fruition, sources say. And by sources I mean the Irish Times. The Labour Party is in staunch opposition to the package which will force draconian cuts in spending and lower the minimum wage to what amounts to $10.13/hr, which is still $3 more than here. Hmmm. That's, uh, something to ponder in and of itself. Anyhoo, if Labour gets its way the Irish may remain independent just yet. And if you think I'm being hyperbolic, go ask an Argentinian what he or she thinks of the IMF. You may want to learn some Spanish first and practice your running as you're going to need to get out of there faster then Speedy Gonzalez can say, rápido (run).
