Ireland gears up for rough economic times

Ireland saw rapid growth in the past 15 years, but is now struggling with huge debt.

The country says it has funding until June next year, but analysts say it could need a bailout of up to 110 billion dollars.

Even the possibililty that Ireland might default is a mighty comedown for the former Keltic Tiger, so-called for its powerful growth.

This was a country where most enjoyed the boom -- now the tiger is dead -- everyone is going to share the pain.
