Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes raises 'really serious' AIB claims with ECB

Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes said he has raised directly with the ECB the “really serious” claims made by an AIB whistleblower who alleges the bank misled regulators in its dealings with loans in arrears.

The unnamed whistleblower last week used the whistleblowing system to alert the Single Supervisory Mechanism, or SSM – the ECB’s new regulator of lenders across the eurozone.

The claims were first reported by RTÉ.
