MHK to ask about AIB talks

Thu, 26 Apr 2012

An MHK is asking what was done to try to prevent Allied Irish Banks pulling out of the Island.

Michael MHK Alfred Cannan will ask Treasury Minister Eddie Teare when AIB told the FSC it would be leaving the Island, and what talks were held to prevent this.

It was announced earlier this month that AIB was ending its operations on the Island and in the Channel Islands to concentrate on domestic banking.

The bank currently employs 115 members of staff.

It's to cease its operation by the end of next year.

Mr Teare will answer Mr Cannan's question in next week's sitting of the House of Keys.
