CURRENT EVENT
The Bank of Ireland is striving to emerge from the wreckage of the country’s deep banking debt crisis, and on Monday posted a smaller underlying loss, but its road back to restoring profitability remains long. The bank was a among a group of six stricken lenders that needed enormous amounts of money from Irish taxpayers to keep them from immediate collapse when Ireland’s over-inflated property market burst horribly over five years ago. Compared with nationalized rivals Allied Irish Banks and Permanent TSB PLC, it shows the healthiest signs of being on mend.But, with Ireland’s economic recovery slower than expected, predicting when Ireland’s dysfunctional banking system has firmly turned the corner remains as difficult as ever to predict, analysts say.
