Investors withdrew in droves from what was once deemed the “Celtic Tiger.” The government had no choice but to request a bailout from the “troika” – the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, and the European Commission – thereby transferring an important component of national economic governance to an ad hoc, fragile, and sometimes feuding group of institutions.
投资者纷纷逃离昔日的“凯尔特之虎”。政府别无选择，只能从“三驾马车”（IMF、欧洲央行和欧盟委员会）寻求帮助，也因此将国民经济治理的重要部分移交给了临时组建的、脆弱的、时不时互相扯皮的机构集团。
