Where are the BOI and AIB tapes?

    If it is common practice to record calls for training and quality purposes in all financial institutions, I was wondering can we expect revelations from other banks from the period of the bank guarentee.

    No doubt these tapes if they existed have been destroyed since the story broke.

    The Anglo tapes were seized by Gardai as part of their investigation into Anglo. There is, as far as I'm aware, no criminal investigation into AIB or BOI, so we're unlikely to see any tapes.

    All financial institutions record calls to a large degree. Most employees who have dealings with clients or other firms will have their calls recorded so as to have backup for what they are saying should there be any legal case.

    AIB and BOI would definitely have recorded calls although the tapes are possibly only kept for between 3-5 years. So unless they were gathered by the guards for a case, they are probably destroyed at this stage for what relates to 2007-2008 or coming close to it.

    It's worth asking whether the conversations are "Tapes" at all ?

    Presumably, Anglo's Head Office internal phone system was State-of-the Art,which might indicate a fully digitized recording and retrieval system ?

    The ability to have this stuff almost in microdot format may also partially explain the delay in it surfacing in the public domain ? :o
