‘Banks treat women shabbily’

THE Irish Bank Officials Association (IBOA) - the finance union, yesterday launched a scathing attack on the banks for their shabby treatment of female bank officials.

Over 70% of bank officials are women, but few make it to the top echelons within Irish banking.

General Secretary Larry Broderick said despite early breakthroughs in the sector, the reality is that women have been given very little real recognition.
