Are people taking their money out of the banks?

[Shawady]

I have noticed the past week or so that alomst every time a politician from any party is on the TV or radio, they are keen to stress that deposits are safe in irish banks. It is like they have been told to emphasise this point at every opportunity and that something is going on behind the scenes.
I know large deposits have been leaving the country but am just wondering if the genral public are also taking their money out and putting in the credit union or post office.
Is anyone on AAM worried enough to take their money from the irish banks?

Have a few friends working in the two larger banks here and they were saying that while there are some people taking out money, others are coming in to lodge it - people just seem to be spreading it around a little

Santander might not be as safe as you think. Rumour is all but we shall see...

As I said before, if they never told so many lies in the past, people would believe them now.
