  I remember posting when we were bailing out the Greeks that the least they could do was sign a piece of paper promising never to mention the Elgin Marbles again.
  
  Perhaps our flame haired cousins could do the same about the Potato Famine, Cromwell, Poor Law, Famine Clearances etc. etc.
  
  Meanwhile I'd love to understand how it is to our benefit to bail them out.
  
  (Perhaps we could take the £7 billion out of our £9.1 billion overseas aid budget which the boy Dave has apparently 'ring fenced'?)
  
  A load of well educated but poverty stricken English speakers on our doorstep could be just the thing to undercut and indeed replace the ubiquitous Easter European plumber.
  
  Personally I'd much prefer to be served my coffee by a Corr like colleen than Ivana from Latvia (especially since the Holy Fathers recent rambling on the prophylactic benefits of condoms).
  
  (I note that Eire also 'benefits' from the highest level of minimum wage in Europe. Cause and effect?????)
