Ireland voting for change

The people of Ireland may be voting out the Fianna Fail party that has dominated Irish politics for the last 80 years. Ireland's economy has taken some serious hits and is in a tremendous downward spiral. The people of Ireland are responding with anger toward the government and it seems like all things are pointing to a change in Irish politics. The article says that this will be a "political earthquake". Ireland is part of the European Union, so many other countries banks have interest in the Irish political situation due to investments in the Irish economy. If the new politics of Ireland restore economic success in Ireland, the European Union will be much stronger, if a similar situation to what happened in Greece occurs, the European Union, which dictates the Euro, could be in a lot of trouble.
