Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I do not think it is acceptable that a bank can set down that a deposit of €2,500 will decide the individual's worth to the welfare of the banking system. It is a crude instrument, particularly when one considered that some of the dispossessed, who will suffer as a result of AIB policy, would have had jobs at the time the bank was bailed out and their taxes would have been used to keep the banks in place. AIB should not let this issue linger on too long. The decision should be reversed immediately.
