'Tiger' kidnap cashiers 'should not risk safety'
Bank workers’ representatives claimed today that cashiers and branch staff should not be criticised for handing over cash when their friends or loved ones are taken hostage in a ’tiger’ kidnapping.
The Irish Bank Officials Association (IBOA) hit out after gardaí and Allied Irish Banks continued investigations into why a bank clerk was able to hand €200,000 over to an armed gang holding his housemate hostage.
