From this evening’s IT:

The Government put contingency plans in place at the height of the economic crisis to have soldiers on standby to protect banks in the event of a rush by people to withdraw cash, it emerged today

Tánaiste Joan Burton confirmed the existence of the plans which were put in place by the last government under then taoiseach Brian Cowen

Ah… all down to FF so, but no, check this out:

…but which were later approved by Taoiseach, Enda Kenny when Fine Gael and Labour took power went in 2011.

And when the enraged populace realised there was no money in the banks, where then would it have gone?

A water ballon is a threat to democracy. The Greens, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Labour preparing to put the army on the streets, well, only a Trotskist-dissident-anarchist could possibly find that threatening.
