Prime Minister Brian Cowen said at a news conference on Sunday night that there would be two funds.

The package should allow Ireland to operate without funds from the markets for as long as three years.

One fund for the banks; another fund for "government operations".....but no funds for (this being Ireland afterall) "The Little People"?
