Good summary of National Debt in the Irish Times

Total national debt: €203 billion
Servicing national debt: €8 billion
Income tax receipts: €18 billion
Property Tax receipts: €438 million

More than €64 billion went into the banks, and only a small portion has been clawed back.

The bulk of increased borrowing, however, was taken on to meet the costs of running the State day by day.
