Why print for them.
They are not that lazy.

Who needs the ECB or BoE?

You'd have to invade Continential Europe for that first...

Is money in the Allied Irish Bank, Isle of Man, safe?? (Irish banks need state money)

the news tonight is that the Irish banks need another huge amount of state money to bail them out just so they can keep going - and there are worries that the Irish won't get it from the EU etc..
So will money in the AIB be safe?
