Why I have to close my account and switch to a more ethical bank

WE DON’T moralise, says a spokesperson for the Bank of Ireland. So in the name of turning a euro, it’s legitimate for the bank to support the sex industry — an industry that for the most part exploits vulnerable women for vast profits worldwide.

The industry is estimated to be worth €100 million in Ireland alone.

The bank has put up €25.2m to ensure the success of a string of pornographic magazines with titles such as Asian Babes, Horny Housewives and Mega Boobs.
