It's the second time in an hour you have made this claim ........... and it needs to be challenged because it is factually incorrect.
The £7Bn was lent to the Irish exchequer -- and lent at an interest rate higher than the available rate which the U.K. was able to borrow at. So, in fact, the lending of this £7Bn was good and profitable business for the U.K.
That £7Bn is in the process of being repaid by the Irish. It was never "given" by the U.K.
