DUBLIN (AFP) - a majority of the Irish people welcome a bailout of the international monetary fund of the European Union but believe the country ceded sovereignty, according to a poll released Saturday.
The investigation comes after approved by 81 75 debt-ridden countries Parliament votes the EU - IMF (112-billion) to resolve the economic crisis of the Ireland EUR 85 billion rescue plan.
Requested by Irish Times / Ipsos MRBI pollsters if they welcomed the bailout, 51 percent said that while 37% said that they did not.
Fifty - six percent of those polled 1,000 between Monday and Tuesday said that Ireland had ceded sovereignty by accepting the bailout, while 33% said they did not and 11% had no opinion.
Electors whose return Fianna Fail party of Prime Minister Brian Cowen are more favourable to the bailout and a majority of them do not believe that Irish sovereignty had been transferred in the process.
Attitudes to the European Union seem to have changed that marginally, 69% of respondents saying that it was better to be part of the European Union, in only two per cent in 2009.
Rocked by Bank orchestrated, collapse of the property market and tax revenues ravaged by the recession, Ireland unveiled plans of austerity in a huge deficit sink and saving of EUR 15 billion in 2014.
