As NR don't offer mortgages in Ireland, I can't see how this could be the case. Anglo Irish do have a substantial dependancy in the Irish & UK property markets, as far as I know.evan said:which banks are most vulnerable if the housing market collapses. Ive heard that northern rock are vulnerable

CoffeeBrew said:Even when an article is balanced, they often choose a headline that is not.
That way, people who are glancing or skimming will be given the "correct" impression.
For example:
http://www.unison.ie/business/stories.php3?ca=80&si=1480675
The headline here is:
"House-build sector for a bumpy landing, but certainly not a crash"
There we go, message delivered.
However what the author actually said was:
"If the brokers are right, it will be a bumpy landing for the house-building sector, but certainly not a crash"
You can see the use of the 'If' conjunction conveys an important condition in order for the headline to be true. That condition is dropped for the headline.
Also doesn't the SBpost sponsor property investment seminars around the country ?
Gabriel said:This is really clutching at straws. That's the nature of a HEADLINE. It's supposed to be catchy/ eye-catching.
"If the brokers are right, it will be a bumpy landing for the house-building sector, but certainly not a crash" would not make for a very good headline.

Guess who's back back back...
