Here the results from the bidding today from NTMA:
NTMA - Government Bonds - 2009 Auction Results
The bid to cover ratio was only 1.1 on the 2018 bond!


And they are going again Thursday for another circa €1.5billion.

That is a nightmare scenario.
What really sets the interest rates on any bond is the inflation rate over the bonds life and the risk of default. Now with deflation at 4% it clearly shows that the default risk is the main concern.

German bunds have a default risk as well. However comparing both eliminates the effect of inflation to show the greater chance of Ireland defaulting. I would say there is a good risk of Germany defaulting.

I would say there is a certainty of Ireland defaulting. Buyers of these bonds today will lose money imo.

The announcement of the bills next Thursday takes the biscuit. One is for just about 40 days. They are just limping to get to Lisbon in October but they won't make it
