Mr. Des Carville:

No. This goes back to my earlier point about the relationship frameworks. It is a commercial decision by the bank in that case - in every case, actually - and it realised it got it wrong based on the customer feedback it was getting through multiple channels. I am not always fair to banks but, to be fair to AIB, it reversed course very quickly on that.
