If we owed Germany money (and we do via treasury securities), would you regard it as "goodwill" if the POTUS or some other US government officer leaked our federal budget to the Bundestag? or would you regard it as an act of treason?
I don’t know, but who may have leaked this information to the Bundestag? Maybe the Irish PM did so - as a sign of goodwill
I would consider it utterly strange, yes indeed.
But being very much in debt to one single creditor nation may have caused it.
As I said, maybe the mole wanted to present the Irish budget to the Bundestag in order to show their reliability as a creditor? Thus, a goodwill sign?
