ISEQ in the red

The ISEQ index of Irish shares found itself in the red today, finishing down 63.71 points to 7996.88 by the end of day's trading.

The financial heavyweights all enjoyed negative fortunes. AIB was by far the biggest loser, falling 21c to €19.54 despite their announcement that AIB customers with personal current accounts who, each quarter, use AIB phone/internet banking and their AIB debit card for one transaction will now qualify for free transaction banking.
