€843,000 for Richie Boucher at Bank of Ireland. End this madness by supporting a bankrun.

Michael OLeary runs Europes biggest airline, Ryanair. Last year Ryanair made a profit of about €500 million. OLeary gets a salary of €768,000. Richie Boucher runs a tiny European bank, Bank of Ireland, last year it made a loss of €2 billion, yet Boucher gets a salary of €843,000.

Given the damage Bank of Ireland have done to our country, its little surprise the level of public outrage over this salary. However, we have been here before. Media and public outrage typically lasts for 24-48 hours, the fuss dies down and nothing changes. We wait for the Bank of Ireland AGM next year and the same process is repeated. Over and over again, nothing changes.

Its now clear that its time for us as citizens to stand up and force change. We can do this by moving money out of Bank of Ireland. This will hit them where it hurts, and they will change how the act when we take action. We will do this on 15th of May.

This is a simple process and we can use the Central Bank guidelines against Bank of Ireland. There are 4 steps to move your account.

1. Pick a new bank - Go there and get a "switching form"
2. Pick a switching date (15th May)
3. Complete the switching form
4. Switch

All of your direct debits will be automatically moved. 

Some people will tell you moving to a new bank in pointless as they are all the same. Yes, they are all the same, but we can keep moving from bank to bank to force them to change.

Censorship at RTE

Once more RTE is doing its very best to protect the elite of the EU and Ireland that are destroying our society. Today, the fascist EU elite were having a meeting in Dublin, a massive anti austerity protest was organised outside this meeting. There was not one mention of this protest on RTE. The following complaint to RTE was posted to us, we suggest that everybody sends a similar complaint to complaints@rte.ie

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am incensed at RTE's failure to cover the protest march taking place presently in Dublin. I cannot believe that RTE have the audacity to collect licence fees from the public, while operating as what can only be describes as an arm of the government and establishment. You have no journalistic integrity whatsoever.

In the recent Meath East by-election, you excluded DDI candidate Ben Gilroy from televised debate. this was despite his obvious popularity with voters, as evidenced by numerous opinion polls in the run up to the by-election.

The salaries of the "talent" working for RTE are truly disgusting. The people of this country are suffering greatly and it is beyond belief that RTE continues to pay, out of the licence fee extorted from the populace, grossly excessive salaries to these banal, B-grade, servile maggots.

I do not expect that my complaint will make the slightest bit of difference to RTE's operating policy, but I wanted to air my grievances. I would also like to add that I am looking forward, with great relish, to the day that RTE finally runs itself into the ground. The only honest service that you provide the people is the weather forecast.

Yours etc.,
