The article originally appeared in the Financial Times and is reproduced in the Irish Times, ever anxious to find green shoots of recovery. The authors make a striking claim, that “an Irish success story of the kind we think is under way will come to be seen as a crucial trump card for the euro zone debt strategy. It gives the lie to fears about a generalised transfer union.”
The authors may have underplayed the significance of the success story. This economy is beginning to look like a world leader, not just in the Euro zone. In the graphic below from The Economist, this is what the trump card looks like.

I cant read the chart, tho I think I see that Ireland is at the bottom of the "growth" league? C'est vrai? Was Watson not an employee of the Irish Central Bank in recent times?
If you click on the chart it will become enlarged on new page.
