The governor of the Central Bank of Ireland said Thursday he expects his debt-crippled country to accept a loan worth tens of billions of euros (dollars) soon from the European Union and International Monetary Fund. Patrick Honohan made his frank assessment as forensic accountants and financial specialists from the EU and IMF landed in Dublin to identify the size of the hole in state and bank finances and the measures needed to reassure markets that Ireland won't default on debts.
