Last Monday, the Irish Times contained full-page advertisements from AIB and ICTU. The contrast between the two could not be greater.
The former comprised patronising guff about commitment (mentioned five times) which was undoubtedly generated by an advertising agency. The ICTU contribution was a measured document which addressed many of the problems confronting the state. Although far from perfect, it was close to being the type of comprehensive plan that the Government should have produced months ago.
The bank's advert stated that it is regulated by the Financial Regulator. Thankfully, the ICTU advert contained no such statement.
