You can bank on children having good day at the office
Known to grown-ups as head of domestic business, John Moclair and his colleagues withstood the invasion and didn't manage to lose millions or anything, but gained more than a few laughs at their workstations.
For the past five years, the bank's treasury and international division has been running Kids at Work Day. And 53 excited children aged between four and 12 converged on the Talbot Street, Dublin, office and got the run of the place until lunchtime. Apart from banking tips, the youngsters were treated to a host of fun things, such as balloon sculpting, computer games, art workshops and a pop star party. And Simon the Magician put on a top-class show. "It was great," said Michael McAllorum, a four-year-old action man, as he slowed down briefly from inspecting every corner of the bank's remittances section. Mum Deirdre kept a watchful eye as colleagues shared the workload of processing the foreign currency from the branches.
