Does the governments bank guarantee scheme ring any bells?

Hope not, NR is still operating normally after nationalization.
The guarantee scheme is still in place.

Q: Is my money safe?
A: Depositors in Ireland enjoy robust protection when it comes to the security of their money. Existing deposits in Anglo are protected under the deposit protection scheme up to a limit of €100,000. Up until September 2010, this protection is supplemented by the Government Bank Guarantee Scheme which guarantees all deposits. The nationalisation of Anglo will in no way adversely impact the deposits of customers.

Re: Anglo Irish Bank
I thought it covered all deposits not just up to 100k for AIB ,BOI Anglo, IL&P and INBS.

Re: Anglo Irish Bank
Savings and deposits are safer in Anglo than anywhere else at this stage. The government will ensure that they are safe. However going forward the deposit and savings rates being offered could change. Anglo are changing their rates on the 20th of January.
In my opinion its the same as saving with POST Bank. Safe

Well, that or any other number of hypothetical catastrophic situations occur, i.e. I wouldn't worry about it so much. There's a 100% state guarantee for the next 2 years.
I say this as someone with both a Monthly Saver account [Expiring June] & Fixed term account [Expiring December] with them. I'll not be queuing up to get them out anytime soon.

Re: Anglo Irish Bank
thats a very interesting question indeed, and with no capable leaders steering the ship through our biggest economic storm in living memory, I'm
prepared to expect the unexpected.
I took my few washers out of Anglo a few months ago, and put them in NR, I feel sorry for anyone that bought shares in Anglo.

Re: Anglo Irish Bank
While I think we all agree that what went on in Anglo was wrong, the stock market is a dangerous game, you pay your money you take your chances. Nobody was saying anything when Anglo shares were flying up, shareholders were taking their dividend no questions asked. Shareholders obviously had the money to invest and risk, otherwise they would be opening deposit accounts like the rest of us. If you cant afford to lose your initial stake, dont stake it.

If you have money invested in BoI which they invest in shares. Now the BoI goes bust, is the money still yours through ownership of the shares?

I expect the country will go bust. I'd be surprised if we last till the end of the year.
