That is laughable because an investor wants his investment to pay up and those on the boards want the same thing. I remind the Central Bank again that it wears the consumer protection hat and that is where the consumer will turn. I would hope that it has enough skills in its organisation and power in terms of legislation to protect the small to medium sized enterprises, SMEs, in this country, the individual mortgage holders and anybody else who has a crib or a gripe against the banks because they have behaved disgracefully.
