Are there any ethical banks/investments in Ireland

Its not too long ago that I heard one particular Irish politician pontificate about "ethical investment" while at the same time this individual's party was inextricably linked to an illegal terrorist army (which in its time has itself murdered and maimed children, and benefitted from links to an international drug cartel), and the individual himself is a former social welfare fraudster.

Oddly enough Starbucks claim to be a very ethical company, and have marketed themselves prominently on that basis, and yet they are mired in controversy on several fronts including non-recognition of unions. I wonder do the ethical funds invest in the Smug
Green Monster?

Just shows how useless the so-called ethical funds are so.
