Stop and think for a minute


It is with growing discomfort that I'm hearing Bank of Ireland and Irish Life and Permanent have been approached by private equity firms interested in paying €5bn.


I would urge the Irish Government not to allow this to happen.


It would be Eircom all over again.


Private investors will sweat the assets while the country gets a bum deal.


Irish businesses and citizens need the injection of funds for sure, but at what price?
