Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Brian Goggin:
Bank of Ireland had a market share across most of its product lines, ranging depending on which product line one would pick, but market shares ranging from kind of high teens right up to mid-30s, mid-30s in the case of working accounts or current accounts. As you are aware, Bank of Ireland had a significant distributed network, i.e. through its branch channel. So the Bank of Ireland brand and Bank of Ireland presence in the marketplace was of a significance in terms of supporting customers, supporting the economy, etc. So that was the Bank of Ireland franchise - a very strong brand, a very trusted brand, so our franchise was our customer base, our propositions and the whole integrity of Bank of Ireland in Ireland.
