Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour) | Oireachtas source

On that basis, I am at a loss. Bank of Ireland might be structurally different from AIB, but although we asked the bank to provide the committee with specific information on questions 13, 15 and 16, Bank of Ireland refused to give us that information, saying it could be sourced elsewhere or that it would not give us that information. Putting it simply, if the State had not stepped in, Bank of Ireland would be no more. I am at a loss as to why, when this committee asks the bank for information, we are not given it.
