Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 December 2013
30. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to plans by AIB to outsource jobs over the next year; if a Project Orlon exists to facilitate this outsourcing; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52042/13]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware under the Relationship Framework the State does not intervene in the day to day operations of the bank or their management decisions regarding commercial decisions. I have been informed that AIB has previously indicated that as part of its restructuring plan to reduce costs and increase efficiencies, outsourcing of certain functions would be considered in consultation with the IBOA and affected staff.
