Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Fáilte romhaibh go léir anseo inniu. AIB's after-tax profits in the first half of this year were approximately €500 million.

Peadar Tóibín: My question relates to creating more competition. Would AIB support the development of local public banking? Part of this relates to getting cash circulating in these small towns.
