    I reckon so, it means it won't collapse.

    How many more deals like this do they have on their books?

    Anglo Irish recently lost top executives over a secret loans fiasco.
    In December the bank's chairman resigned after a 87m euros loan controversy.
    Sean Fitzpatrick confirmed that he had transferred millions of euros out of the Dublin-based bank's accounts. Chief executive David Drumm announced his resignation shortly afterwards.

    Same... it had a 100% gov guarantee before and now it's got 100% govt guarantee =same to all intents...
    The Irish don't like the EC rules... make a guarantee without ratification, but ask for appro to bale Anglo. This time they wait for EC approval... but soon as they get it they do something else... :rolleyes:
