Watching a debate programme tonight, an Irish TD, Stephen Donnelly said that while he was at an economic meeting at the weekend, Ajai Chopra, head of the IMF team to Ireland, said Ireland will end up ceding more sovereignty to the EU. Donnelly said he couldn't believe that this wasn't even challenged at the meeting, and when he asked what if the people don't agree with heading towards an EU federal superstate, Chopra said a way will be found regardless. Also, a member of the government party was completely at odds with the official party line, and saying that Ireland needs to get a haircut like Greece.
To get an idea of who Donnelly is, he would be considered to the right, and is probably one of the most educated members of the Dail, he was educated in Harvard I believe, and spoke a lot of sense on the programme. I repeat should be up tomorrow on tv3.ie for anyone interested.

There'll probably be car bombs going off like popcorn in places like Brussels and Berlin in the not to distant future.Irish republicans have in the past attacked army bases in Germany, over the issues in the North of Ireland. Imagine how they might react to having the rest of their Island confiscated.
If Irish paramilitaries act up, I wouldn't be surprised if ETA start up again, not to mention the other paramilitary organisations around Europe. This could lead to mayhem, not that the beaurocrats give a damn, apart from Nigel Farage and a handful of others who trying to hit the brakes on the european Crazy Train.

The current operations of integrating governments, ceding power and austerity has a "ring" that reminds me of the Khmer Rouge. While the Khymer sought the immediate destruction of higher society and a return to agrarian ways, the EU and the US are doing the same thing ...... only a lot slower.
