Anglo Irish Bank Sign
by Elisa Kehrel, 5th Year
A middle-aged man called John
With a wife and three children at home
He had always worked hard at the AIB
But was not anymore an employee
–
Without money, without a job
He had always been in the pub
Following what happened to his old workplace
–
Once upon a time, from 1964 till 2011
The Anglo Irish Bank
Was a big business with 1777 employees (2008)
Headquartered in Dublin
–
At the end lots of money was away
A bill of around €29 billion
The Irish citizens had to pay
For their trust in the bank
–
First nationalisation
Then wind-down mode in 2009
“The bank is dead and so am I”
Thought John
–
He had no Job, he had no money
But a family which was always hungry
He did not know what to do
–
He was sad, he was depressive
And he drank really excessive
Always in the pub
Next to the old AIB
–
On Wednesday 20 April 2011
Something happened countrywide
All signages got away
Removed of the side
Of the buildings
–
In July 2011 the AIB
Merged with the Irish Nationwide Building Society
Forming a new company
Which made John really happy
–
He hoped to get a new job
So everything would get well again
He could care for his beloved ones
And be his family a good man
