In the event of Irish meltdown, would overseas investors not receive protection from their own governments - who would then claim back with some determination? Like happened to UK investors in Icelandic banks?

And when they have run out of money? Derek
The give you a bit of Ireland, in lieu. I believe some of it is quite nice!
I'll probably just get the cork. I won't be lucky enough to get Kerry. Derek
Presumably our government might say 'Not again' Derek
They've since said they're going to return to their home town.
That's what I reckon too.
Hadn't thought of that but it might be fun!
If they set up a charity for most of the money to improve life in their home town then that would be interesting to see how it went for them.
I'd do a lot of charity work. £161 million opens a LOT of doors, and between cash and putting organisations I like in touch with people who can help I could do a lot of good. I think I'd still need something like "work" to stay sane with that much money, and running a charity like this would certainly d the trick.
