"The nature of the Societys commercial loan book is that the largest 100 customers represent approximately 60% of the loans and because of this concentration, both the Society and its auditors have been able to go through the provisioning process in a much more specific way than perhaps would be possible in other organisations. Consequently the Board feel that the provisions made do reflect a conservative approach, albeit certain assumptions have to be made in arriving at these figures."

''Free Range'' Fingleton should be strung up to those New Wind Propellers along with a few more of his ''colleagues'' in the Banksters Golden Circle .
While on the delicate subject , consider this , Brian Cowen and Co. have insulted almost 4,000,000 Irish People re his economic measures ,
Why dont we, who are eligible to vote in June 09, make certain we bear this in mind and take that enormous 4million figure and return the ''compliment ''.
Send out the message to the carpetbaggers who are queing up to take their lucrative place and let them know they face the same ''fate'' should they
as much as step out of line, just once, as we are becoming a nation of ''Government Watchers '' 24/7 ,there will be Hell to Pay should they let us down ,

Well the music is them and the kind of voice used to deliver script with music is really like 'dead flag blues' - deliberately so.
'wallets full of blood' is a line adapted from that song too.
But it's also a ripoff of 'Day of the Dead', and of 'Psycho'. The plot is ripped off straight from the irish newspapers around the time of it's making.
I hold my hands up ;-)

Publ;ished in Irish Crimes today.
Madam, – With the increasing realisation that there are no genuine “national assets” to manage and that instead a toxic dump of speculators’ and bankers’ busted flushes is to be created, saddling all Irish taxpayers with an enormous debt burden to be repaid by increased taxation and/or decreased spending for the foreseeable future.
Perhaps the common good would be better served by allowing the people responsible for making these gambles, banks and builders, take the pain rather than inflicting it on an already long-suffering, barely coping, populace.
Also, we should perhaps admit that Nama really stands for a Necro-political Abattoir of Materialist Avarice. – Yours, etc,

The establishment is treating people like the zombies in Romero's films - as a faceless mass, less than human, a tide of contagion to be stemmed at all cost. They are no longer just reminders of our mortality. They are us. We are all zombies now.

"The air in the room was thick and there was silence. The birds that had been chirping stopped singing. The squirrels stopped scurrying. The sun stopped shining. There was a void," wrote a New York couple, Ronnie Sue and Dominic Ambrosino. "In the last six months our lives have been like something from a bad science fiction movie."

"Marx referred to capitalism as the domination of the dead over the living, the past over the present. He described how the products of people’s labour come to dominate their lives and the lives of those who follow them.
Workers have no control over what they produce, how they produce it, how much they produce or what happens to the goods once they have been made. So the products appear as alien with a power all of their own.
Zombie capitalism is a particularly apt term to use in the current period. "

A depressed Dutch financier who recently left his job at troubled banking group ABN Amro has gone missing along with two of his shotguns.
Huibert Boumeester has not been seen since Monday, when he missed a business appointment.
Two of the six shotguns he is licensed to hold have also gone missing from his London and Scotland homes
Mr Boumeester, 49, was chief financial officer at ABN Amro - whose takeover in 2007 plunged the Royal Bank of Scotland into record losses - until early last year, after nearly 20 years with the company.
