List of years in Ireland

2009 in Ireland saw the nationalisation of Anglo Irish Bank, the loss of thousands of jobs at the Dell plant in Limerick and the Waterford Crystal plant in Waterford as unemployment levels broke state records, while extreme weather conditions disrupted schools, and air and road traffic, but not 15,000 students who protested on the streets of Dublin or 120,000 workers who followed them.

Taoiseach Brian Cowen described 2009 as the most challenging of his career in politics.[1]
