    Dump them. The thinly traded shares have ridiculous valuations. Based on the values, that the shares were selling at once, AIB was one of the largest banks in the world by market cap

    Its a con-job. How can you sell shares to the public, when they already own them?

    The government own 99.8 % of AIB shares so the amount that is available to be bought (or sold) on the "free" market is miniscule.
    Any move in the share price will be massive % due to lack of liquidity.
    Noonan has said before, for people not to buy the shares due to the number available.
    Wait until the government offload some of their amount, the share price
    will be well lower than where it is now and there will be more shares in existance.

    Best off just donating them to charity.
