Conditions aligned for AIB shares sale: Bernard Byrne

Market conditions are aligned for Finance Minister Michael Noonan to give the green light for a shares’ sales in AIB in early summer, chief executive Bernard Byrne has said.

The Government has said it could sanction a sale of shares in AIB shares, in a period starting by late May to early July, should market conditions permit.

It was forced to halt plans to sell AIB shares last year when world banking valuations went on the slide.
