The EU/IMF program stole Ireland's Christmas. Just like in Greece, the people are on the streets to protest. Paul Krugman outlines nicely how the Irish Crisis is – just like the Greek Crisis – a botched goverment action that citizens now have to finance with dramatic spending cuts (and tax increases).
