Irish Banks: Fattening Themselves Up

This chapter discusses how Irish banks are fattening themselves up to make more profits before being sold, robbing savers by not passing on interest rate increases, and penalizing borrowers with higher loan charges. It explores the historical context of Irish banks being bailed out and their current unfair practices. The chapter also explores the impact of these practices on the Irish economy and the potential benefits of using bank profits to decrease mortgage interest rates.
