The Guarantee: On the night of September 29, two thousand and eight08, the Irish government decided to guarantee the entire domestic banking system. That decision was made by a handful of men in a room in the middle of the night. By the time the costs can be fully counted, in another 30 years or so, it will have cost over EUR60 billion - the most expensive bank rescue in history. ‘The Guarantee’ tells the story of that night, and what led to it.
