I meant one (at least) has stopped trading in shares in the iseq, Like Anglo.
Shares are still traded in AIB and BOI.
I used my Laser card today and the ATM was working .........So they must be open for business .
ALL Irish banks will be nationalised within the next three months according to union leader [and governor of the Central Bank] David Begg, who said the recapitalisation of Bank of Ireland and AIB is bound to fail.
He may not be a disinterested observer, but then what is he doing on the board of directors of the Central Bank and holding this opinio?
Does he know something from his position there that leads him to this conclusion?
Are the two positions incompatible?
It's all a bit 'pope speaking infallibly' really. Does he have a chinese wall down the middle of his brain!I think so, yes. He should not be making pronouncements about nationalisation of banks in his capacity of ICTU president if he is also a director of the Central Bank. Else people will actually start to take it as fact, which is why he needed to clarify that he's speaking solely as ICTU president when he said that.
Eh, that's what square brackets in a quote mean (editor's insert), as far as I know.p.s. you added that bit in square parenthesis to that quote that you posted - that language was not in the Examiner Article. I think it's important to make that clear for other readers of this thread.
