International & Global Dimension of Irish Shadow Banking Can we say with any certainty today that the eurozone’s bailout machinery would immediately deploy all means to put out a raging fire in any country within EU jurisdiction if the source of the problem was in shadow banking? Or would perennial arguments over moral hazard again intrude? Would the fractious politics of Europe’s half-formed monetary union again allow the problem to fester? We do not know. In what looks like coordinated rhetoric, the European Central Bank’s Luis de Guindos issued a parallel warning last week, flagging the shadow banks as a potential “source of problems for the whole financial system”, though he was careful not to finger any one eurozone country.

The autopsy report completed by Dr Oliver St John Gogarty was never made public, and Gogarty was reluctant to speak of it. In historian Thomas Bartlett’s discussion on confused identities and allegiances in the aftermath of the 1798 Rebellion, he points to the increasing socio-cultural manifestations of Britishness in Irish everyday life and consequently an almost subconscious distancing from France. This detachment from France was heightened by the failure of the 1798 Rebellion. [4] Emmet’s provocative words in the 1803 Proclamation, attest to this new ideological stance which was profoundly influenced by his time in France and his association with the exiled veterans of 1798.

The historian James Quinn proposes that here Russell may have had some say in the measures proposed in the revolutionary Proclamation of 1803. In addition to democratic parliamentary reform, the Proclamation announced that tithes were to be abolished and church lands nationalised, although its social measures probably did not go as far as Russell would have wished.’ [14] The change in relationship with France is apparent in the following words, ‘[the Rising will be fought] without the hope of foreign assistance. [5] It is significant that Emmet uses the word ‘hope’ rather than ‘help’ here, as by late 1802 and his return to Ireland, Emmet had all but given up on the promise of French aid. In the Proclamation Emmet alludes to his new political stance towards France and his aversion to a French invasion as a result of the failures of 1798, ‘That confidence which was once lost by trusting to external support . . . has been again restored. We have been mutually pledged to each other to look only to our own strength.’ [6]

The shadow banking system consists of non-banking institutions that include inter alia hedge funds, money market funds, pension funds, insurance companies and to some extent the large custodians such as Bank of New York and State Street. The funding of Shadow Banks is typically associated with the non- banks’ securities lending transactions, use (and re-use) of the collateral they post with banks, etc.

In the 1930s and ’40s, between 30 and 40 per cent of Fine Gael TDs had traceable home rule roots – from surviving ex-MPs and councillors to those with more tenuous connections through family or activism.

In the First Branch of the Welsh tales known as the Mabinogi, entitled Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, the eponymous prince offends Arawn, ruler of Annwn, by baiting his hunting hounds on a stag that Arawn's dogs had brought down. In recompense, Pwyll swaps places with Arawn for a year and defeats Arawn's enemy Hafgan. Meanwhile, Arawn rules Dyfed.

Apple’s Holy Grail

The ICIJ showed the findings from its investigation to J. Richard Harvey, a Villanova University law professor, and Stephen Shay, senior lecturer at Harvard Law School. In 2013, both of them gave detailed testimony on Apple’s previous Irish structure to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee’s investigation.
