Flood the market with Millions/Billions of Euros, pay all our debts, look after the banks, and dont say a thing. Buy up foreign bonds for security.

Whats the worst that could happen? Our Euros would just dissapear into the European Euro market, nobody would be the wiser if a few extra billion Euros from Ireland were being flushed about?

And by the time Europe found if they ever did, providing we did it on the QT out we would be flush with money and the European Bank would have to sort the problem out!
