In January 2009, under the Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Act 2009, the Irish state took Anglo Irish Bank into full public ownership after losses linked to commercial property exposure rendered private recapitalisation infeasible. The legislation transferred shares to the Minister for Finance, extinguished prior shareholder rights, and committed multi-billion-euro promissory notes that became a major driver of subsequent sovereign-debt strain.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
