Bank issues curt response to claims

AIB issued a curt one-line statement last night in response to the spate of damaging allegations made by Eugene McErlean.

The claims concerned AIB overcharging and the alleged use of a Caribbean trading “blackspot” by its subsidiary, Goodbody Stockbrokers.

“The issues referred to by Mr McErlean were fully reported by AIB to the relevant regulatory authorities at the time, fully investigated and fully addressed,” the bank said.
