Madam, – With reference to your headline “Government calls for replay of match ” (Home News November 20th), hopefully we will soon see a headline “Government calls for replay with banks”. The past week has shown that when it comes to appointments at the banks, the culture of insider appointments still prevails, despite the massive injection of billions of taxpayers’ euro.

Madam, – So people of the right calibre can’t be found to replace the directors of AIB. The real question is, have the directors of AIB the right calibre for the job?

It is worth remembering that this is the second time this bank has been bailed out over a relatively short period of time.

I buy this paper most days, but I seem to have missed the advertisements posted for the above-mentioned positions. – Yours, etc,
