Profitability and bonuses are not necessarily related, as Mr. Moran knows.

Last week, RBS, Lloyds TSB and many other banks had huge losses and handed out massive bonuses to people. They do not seem to be related across Europe. Banks making losses still pay bonuses. Will this new rule, which is a two-to-one rule or even larger, open the floodgates again for bonuses in Ireland?
