    The IMF have been mentioned an awful lot in the last few weeks.
    Is there a Fianna Fail scorched earth policy at play?

    No: they will let the default go ahead under the other crowd then try and oppose IMF imposed cuts and attacks in a cynical bid to get re-elected in the next 5-10 years.

    Our bonds are not at 'junk status'. Some people around here seem to be enjoying, even getting great pleasure out of Irelands economic crisis.
