Have the Germans already bailed us out?

[X-ray]

In the business section of the Sunday Indo there is an interesting piece about Irish bonds holding their value and the only explanation being that somebody is buying them up in large numbers.

Is the ECB bailing us out already?
Is that what the secret finance meetings and German political anger are about?
Have the government been told what to cut etc next month by out new masters?
