Stuck on photo picture Q.34
Name the Business Leader in the photograph...guy with rimmed glasses

It looks a little like Chris Horn of Iona Technology,but its a tough one to guess I wish the person pictured would own up:)

Anyone know the answer to question 39: Which assets was Bank of Ireland ordered to sell by the European Commission earlier this year as a condition for the approval of state aid for the institution?

I think the answer is New Ireland Assurance Company plc and ICS Building Society but I'm not sure. Perhaps there's more assets they have to sell as well that I have left out.

For this, I can help with other questions if you need them.

Cheers!

It's David Hodgkinson, the new Chairman of AIB. If you do a Google Image search, the same picture of him comes up so it's definitely him.

Anyone have a concrete answer for 39? DO people think "Bank of Ireland Asset Management" and "US Foreign Exchange" need to be included as part of it?

Question 32... How much in the end of this disastrous year will Anglo have received?.... this quiz can be so depressing

Thanks Crania.

It looks good.
Only 2 more to go!

I think 34 was the new AIB chairman David Hodgkins

So does anyone know if the competition winner was announced or when it will be announced - will we get the list of correct answers.

Closing date was Jan 7th so I assume result should be in next week's paper. I guess they will issue answers at the same time.
