Glass-Steagall.Silent Run on the Bank of Ireland by Corporate Depositors
November 14, 2010 • 11:54AM
There has been a silent run by corporate depositors at the Bank of Ireland which is now Ireland's biggest lender and is 36% owned by the government. The bank announced that in August and September there were withdrawals by corporate depositors. Citing banking sources, the Irish Times suggests that the withdrawal could have been as much as EU10 billion. The bank said while the situation had "stabilized" there nonetheless continued to be "outflows of ratings-sensitive customer deposits in our capital markets business." On top of that, mortgage arrears at the bank continue to increase." The bank admitted it continues to be totally dependent on the European Central Bank's emergency unlimited liquidity window for funding where it receives short-term credits of no longer than three months' duration.

There is a direct British connection. The Bank of Ireland is in a joint venture with the British Post Office Bank which operates 11,500 branches and is used primarily by normal depositors. Also not widely reported this week is the fact that this subsidiary was reorganized as Bank of Ireland (UK) plc as of November 1, so as to allow the deposits to fall under Britain's deposit guarantee scheme. This was no doubt a pre-emptive move to avoid a run on the bank as the crisis worsens.

While Inter-Alpha's Allied Irish Bank's small banking operation in the U.K. also falls under the British deposit insurance scheme, the U.K. subsidiary of Anglo Irish Bank, now 100% owned by the government, is not covered by the U.K. guarantee, but only the Irish guarantee which is good as long as the Irish government is solvent.

Well this is damned disturbing. Bank of Ireland is 36% owned by the Irish Government, but the bank is now a UK corporation. So does this mean that the UK can make withdraws on Ireland's dime?

Its no problem, the people in the UK seem to really like austerity. France and Greece seem to think otherwise. I think eventually an uprising will be see across all Euro zone countries.

I took it to mean, the British Government insures savings in this Irish Bank (up to £50,000 I think).

People in UK might not be happy about that..

I smell bullshit on the part of the folks that allowed this article to be published. Not the publisher, not the editor, but the folks above them.

This sort of news telegraphs to those with money at the bank to sell off assets and grab cash while there is still cash to grab and IF there is cash to grab. Those Post Office banks can very easily tell the customers that "...sorry, we work so hard, we needed a Bank Holiday" ;o)

So, the response will be, "Oh Shit! But how will we eat? Dump everything! The bottom is falling out!"

The Old Rothschild game of "Buy Low and Hold" rears its' ugly head yet again.

I wouldn´t, because i´ll never have that much money. Sad but true.
Money is not important, you´ll notice soon enough when it ain´t worth shit.
