Give Us Back Our Money !
Exclusive pictures and footage from the head office of Irish Nationwide Building Society this morning, where Chief Executive, Michael Fingleton, was deciding how to spend the 1,000,000 euro bonus paid to him AFTER the hastily agreed government bank guarantee scheme was put in place last year.
Mr Fingleton is also very pleased about his pension arrangements, through which he is the sole beneficiary of a €27.6 million pension scheme.
Other workers have to take a pay cut to help out the banks, and a special "pension levy" has been announced for the public sector, even for workers who don't qualify for a pension.
When the police were caled this morning (things got a bit loud) they said the public was barred from entering the building as it is private property.
Irish Nationwide is being helped by the government's scheme to guarantee the liabilites of the bank with the public's money.
Asked when the next protest might be, the guards were told that something might be happening on Monday, March 30th.
