“Anglo Irish Bank will be liquidated under the plan and its outstanding debt will be converted into a new long-term bond intended to spread the repayment over a longer period of time cutting the cost to the state. At present, the Irish government must pay €3.1bn (£2.7bn) every year to service the debt it took on to rescue the bank, equivalent to about 2pc of the country’s GDP. The lender’s collapse in 2008 forced the government to provide a guarantee for the debts of the country’s entire banking system. Ireland was eventually forced to request an €67.5bn bailout from the EU and IMF as the costs of the banking rescue proved too much.”
