Ulster Bank chief forced to give up any bonus
Just hours after creating more public anger by refusing to reveal his salary to the Oireachtas Finance Committee and claiming he was still entitled to a bonus, Jim Brown said the payment was no longer an issue.
Moments after confirming the problems at the bank are affecting at least 600,000 customers in the Republic alone — six times higher than previously stated — the New Zealander told politicians that, in his opinion, he is right to still consider a bonus for work this year.
