Learning from the Irish Experience – A Clinical Case Study in Banking Failure

Brian Lucey, Charles Larkin and Constantin Gurdgiev

Comparative Economic Studies, 2014, vol. 56, issue 2, 295-312

Abstract: We present a review of the Irish banking collapse, detailing its origins in a confluence of events. We suggest that the very concentrated nature of the Irish banking sector, which will emerge from the policy decisions taken as a consequence of the collapse, runs a risk of a second crisis. We survey the literature on size and efficiency and suggest some alternative policy approaches.
