    Plus it's not him personally but two companies so not quite as dodgy as it sounds. Ok, so he was in control of BOI and involved in Apollo but so what.

    There's no reason to block the purchase based on that. Now he should already have been seriously held to account for all the ****s by BOI, but he wasn't (for some unfathomable super secret reason known only to the monekys in FF) so why shouldn't an equity company be allowed to attempt to buy stuff off BOI?

    According to that article Goggin has a pension of €650k a year.

    I assume from his time at BOI.

    Why, oh why can't the government pass a law to tax the pensions of the former chief management people of BOI, AIB and Anglo in particular at a rate of 99.9%.

    They were able to seperate the pension funds of private individuals for target practice with the supposed job creation levy.
    Why can't they seperate former bank executives in the same way, and nuke their funds and and income flowing from those funds.

    Nothing the government can do on this one.

    The mans skills/knowledge were obviously in demand after he left the bank and this company paid the highest price for them.

    Might be considered dodgy ethically but it isn't really unless he intentionally created this situation which I doubt as he couldn't have predicted everything would work out so well for him.
