View answerNotwithstanding the State's shareholding in the bank, Bank of Ireland operates in an arm's length capacity from the State in relation to commercial issues. It is a matter for the board and management to determine and implement operational policy in their organisation. Therefore, commercial decisions in relation to Bank of Ireland are solely a decision for the bank.
