Bankers’ greed - We are at the line in the sand

NO matter how, despite the greatest economic collapse in the history of the State, individuals try to be positive, another skeleton topples from the Celtic tiger’s wardrobe to knock us back on our heels.

No matter how determined each of us is to push ahead, to be optimistic, the tentacles of failure grab us by the throat reminding us of the awful greed that has brought us to this abject, subservient point.

And what a tragedy it is that to be Irish today means it is almost impossible not to be angry. It is almost impossible not to be outraged when you consider the sheer greed and brass neck of those in the financial services sector so determined — still — to feather their own nests at everyone else’s expense.
