Gaybo wants banking ‘sacrificial lamb’

RETIRED broadcaster Gay Byrne said he and others who lost money when bank shares collapsed need a sacrificial lamb to appease their anger. Those to blame “should be imprisoned”.

“There has to be a sacrificial lamb just as there has been and will be more sacrificial lambs in the whole child sexual abuse, clerical abuse story,” he said.

Mr Byrne explained he had lost money because his pension fund was invested in “all the absolutely water-tight safe things like Bank of Ireland, AIB and Anglo Irish”.
