Irish Anger

Assignment

Available for over a year

As Ireland faces up to one of Europe's most punishing financial crises, Ed Butler looks at the growing anger amongst its citizens. In September tax-payers were asked to underwrite, proportionately, the biggest bank bail-out of all time. For Assignment Ed meets casualties of the crisis, and asks if this typically quiet, conservative population, will continue meekly to bear the burden of the nation’s dramatic boom and bust.
