Ireland prints its own money Doesn't this defeat the entire point of a single currency and the ECB?

Bye Bye Euro I just hope its a peaceful goodbye

surely you cant just print more money as this leads to hyper inflation

Was reading through that and noticed the source of one of the main quotes

It's impossible to overstate the importance of this... this is it... game over. The EU has weeks maybe days left. I this really is true, this is the biggest news story since world war 2 finished, and may even lead to world war 3. ([email protected])

anything that comes from that site/forum cannot ever be taked seriously

Next that site will be telling that the Irish have found a way of making gold. Methinks someone has kissed the Blarney Stone.

What effect would it have on us if the euro did go?

it ain't going any where, all they'll do is fudge the numbers & chalk it down to growing pains, extraordinary circumstances due to the global recession, yadda yadda yadda.
