Those who support the Irish Financial Crisis could not be identified in advance emphasis it is irregular and uncertain. During the period from 1990 to 2007, Irish economy experienced a continuous and steady increase, with GNP growing by 5 to 15 per cent every year and the rising of employment and competitiveness significantly, Ireland went from being extremely poor to being extremely rich. According to Kelly (2010 ,P2), among this period, the Ireland’s economy really was among the best performing in the world. However, Irish economy finally collapsed overnight in late September 2008.

    Although they tried to build harmony among themselves that is essential for them to avoid violence and helps to bond a strong political relation among each other .However , various level of social and economic growth as well as the change in values ,principles and political situation between members are the chief causes of discord among them. The current discord among European union (EU) which is one of the biggest financial and political union ,could be the regional economic combination which has been hindered the free trade of some countries across the EU. By local economic integration in today’s globalization, contracts among countries in a geographic region to attain economic improvements from the free movement of trade and investment among themselves (Hill, 2013).

This crisis, also called “the Euro Crisis”, has been regarded as the most serious financial crisis at least since 1930s. This crisis began with the Greek fiscal crisis in the autumn of 2009, and then it evolved into the “PIIGS Crisis”—five main European countries namely Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain were not able to gain enough economic growth in order to pay their debt obligations, and this is why it’s called sovereign debt crisis.

    The Greek financial crisis surfaced in response to the crisis that hit the Euro-Zone and revealed structural weaknesses and chronic problems of the country. Although the Euro-Zone was hit by the crisis in the USA and was confronted with its own weaknesses, seems to have started to recover since late 2009. The Greek crisis however, that peaked that time, seems to have started influencing many Euro-Zone countries anew and threatening to jeopardize the whole euro project (Ghezzi, Pascual, 2011). Not only the Euro-Zone but the whole Europe or even the United States would be influenced by a Greek financial meltdown (De Grawe, 2010). Ben Bernanke (2012), chairman of the Federal Reserve, has stated that the Greek economic crisis could threaten the stability of the European and global economic system and political unity in Europe.…

    It has been argued that Irish Financial Crisis was unlikely to be predicted as the economy of Ireland had been in a rapid-growth tendency for over 15 years. According to Kelly (2010), the GNP of Ireland grew by 5 to 15 percent every year from 1991. Thus it seems impossible for the government, banks and borrowers to smell the danger of the financial crisis as they were accustomed to the economic condition (Kelly, 2010, p.23).…

    “The European sovereign debt crisis resulted from a combination of complex factors, including the globalization of finance; easy credit conditions during the 2002–2008 period that encouraged high-risk lending and borrowing practices; the 2007–2012 global financial crisis; international trade imbalances; real-estate bubbles that have since burst; the 2008–2012 global recession; fiscal policy choices related to government revenues and expenses; and approaches used by nations to bail out troubled banking industries and private bondholders, assuming private debt burdens or socializing losses.” [9][10]…
