Is Britain right to bail out Ireland?

We want to hear how you've been affected by Ireland's economic problems.

Do you do business with or in Ireland or have money invested there or in Irish banks?
Trade between the two was worth 拢23.8 billion to Britain last year and every person in Ireland spends an average of 拢3,607 on British goods each year.

According to the last census around five million people in the UK have an Irish grandparent or parent - are you one of these people?

Or do you agree with former Conservative cabinet member John Redwood who said it's "not Britain's problem"?

Ireland has accepted a bail-out of around 拢77 billion in a deal designed to safeguard its debt-ridden banks, and its economy. Britain will contribute about 拢7 billion of this, but is it right to do so?
