there has been lots of talk about why Ireland, which is going through austerity measures, isn't also burning itself to the ground.
on the one hand it is due to the Irish approach of getting on with things and many people knowing it was even worse not so long ago - before the boom.
I think another issue is that tax evasion wasn't endemic in ireland (outside of the wealthy and political elite) so the kind of cultural adjustments required by austerity aren't as deep.
