Profits of Irish Banks

We are hearing plenty about the problems of the banks in Ireland and according to this – the Irish Government has pumped in €27 billion to the banks in the past year .
What has happened to all the massive bank profits made over the previous years? Who has had all that money? Where has it all gone?

These are the profit figures for AIB , BOI and Anglo Irish in the last 5 years

Profits of Irish Banks (€ Euros)
Year AIB BOI Anglo Irish
2004 1.4 Billion 1.27 Billion 346 million
2005 1.7 Billion 1.32 Billion 504 Million
2006 2.6 Billion 2.6 Billion 850 Million

2008 1 Billion 1.93 Billion 784 Million
2009 Loss 2.3 Billion loss 0.6billion Expected Loss 14 Billion

With all those massive profits – why should the taxpayer be bailing them out?

    In the case of Anglo since 2008 much of the deposits with the bank have been withdrawn whereas I understand the loan book is some 70 billion so I guess the profits are out there on loan

    Can you not see?

    Material wealth is not our true goal.
    Current monetary system is doomed to fail.
    The people are becomming aware.
    They will not be slaves of the bankers for much longer.

    A new era is upon us.

    Seek the truth and it will set you free too.

    We are all one.
