Bank board positions advertised in shake-up

A SHAKE-UP of the banks’ boards will see the Government choose new decision makers from a pool of potential directors over the coming weeks and months.

The move to overhaul the banks’ boards comes as the head of the eurozone’s bailout fund admitted nobody had told Ireland to curb its excessive lending during the boom.

An extensive overhaul of boards is expected in state-funded banks with the positions advertised today by the Department of Finance.
