Errant bank warns ‘Get your house in order’

Get your house in order or we’ll stop cashing your cheques, Bank of Ireland told Dungarvan businessman David Walsh in Jan 2009.

His overdraft was to be cut from €100,000 to €65,000 and the bank was threatening not to honour standing orders on his business accounts.

He was horrified that the bank he had dealt with since he started his well-known schoolbook and office supply business with his wife Ursula in 1983, was now putting his livelihood in jeopardy.
