What is the justification for that? I also asked the representatives of the Bank of Ireland that question. For quite a number of people who are working and have decent jobs, the requirement to have €2,500 in their accounts every day for a month is quite an achievement given the pressures on people. Why would fees be waived for those people and charged to those who are struggling to get by, who have to check their bank balance at the end of the week, who wonder when their mortgage repayment will go out of their account, the children's allowance will go into it and who have to be mindful when they have to buy a new pair of shoes for their child going to school? Why are they not rewarded in the same way as those who are that little bit more comfortable?
