Potential Catastrophe How the Irish Border Became Brexit's Biggest Hurdle

Model Reformer in Trouble Ireland Lobbies to Have Europe Share Banking Risk

Hope in the Euro Zone Crisis-Hit Countries May Have Turned the Corner

The euro zone's crisis-hit countries are becoming more competitive, according to a new German study. Wage costs are down, and the countries are reducing their trade imbalances. Painful reforms appear to be slowly bearing fruit, and the euro zone might even return to growth next year.

All of Europe is looking to Ireland as the country prepares to vote on Thursday in a referendum on the unpopular fiscal compact for greater budgetary discipline.

Fiscal Pact Referendum 'A Decisive Moment' for Ireland in Europe

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has announced his country will hold a referendum on Europe's fiscal pact.

Darkening Clouds Irish Debt Downgraded as Euro Worries Spread

Just one week after downgrading Portuguese debt to junk status, the rating agency Moody's has slashed its rating of Irish debt.
