    With all the bad news about hbos yesterday I was starting to get itchy feet as most of my saings are with halifax.

    It looks like there's a good chance of hbos and lloyds doing some sort of merger.

    How do people feel about halifax in ireland?

    Is keeping savings there at the moment risky business?

    hi ntl - this is probably good news if you have money in Halifax

    again, if less than 20k, you don't need to worry anyway

    (these markets are more exciting than poker, eh?)

    I can still hold my own at the poker (just about)

    the investing is a different story :eek:

    80% in cash now and will stay that way for as long as necessary

    i'm not sure how much has changed, but going by the data i came across in my brief stint in the banking sector at the start of the year, bosi/halifax seemed to the most secure of the irish banking liquidity wise.
