Irish town resists bailout conditions

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2013/01/201312872217801108.html

The government wants to avoid paying tens of billions of dollars over the next decade to underwrite a failed bank.

But one community in southern Ireland is unwilling to accept the terms of the bailout, blaming the government and banks for the economic crisis.
