AIB is on a group with the most successful entrepreneurs in the country who have been tasked by the Minister to tell him what they think about entrepreneurship in Ireland. They are not people who make flamboyant statements. They just get on with their job. Did it not wake up AIB when they used the term "backwater behaviour"? Should we be doing something different in that regard? I asked that question of the representatives of other banks also?
