Bank workers lie ‘out of shame’

Bank employees are lying about the sector that they work in out of shame, according to the Irish Bank Officials Association.

General secretary Larry Broderick said that his organisation was recently booed at a charity event when its name was read out as a sponsor of a prize.

“I know at a function recently that my own organisation was booed when the word ‘bank’ was read out — and we are the union,” Mr Broderick said.
