DCU And AIB Launches The 12 Business Days Of Christmas

by businessman Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:32

"AIB Bank said: “Small businesses play a critical role in the Irish economy and are an essential ingredient for national recovery. We recognise and understand that there is a need for us to do much more. Supporting events like the ‘12 Business Days of Christmas’ here in DCU is a good opportunity for AIB to increase its involvement. It also provides a way for local enterprises to network, grow and develop their business.”

So why aren't you giving viable small businesses any fucking loans then?  This faffing about and window dressing is all very well but Loads of businesses have gone to the wall over cashflow issues that a simple bank loan would have solved. But no, you greedy fuckers are just shoring up your balance sheets while our economy spirals into destruction.

Irish banks really don't give a fuck about small business.

The AIB is one of the main players in the wrecking of the social fabric of this country, not to mention their wrecking of many a small business. When I think of banks, I feel like puking. When I see bank reps driving around in 11 reg', top of the range gas gusslers and I feel like, and in fact have done, asking them why they aren't riding on bikes. They are parasites!!!

Hi folks . Just to answer some of the more cynical responses to this article, I’d like readers to know that AIB and DCU have teamed up to produce an appropriate carol to accompany this festive week .Some  participants in the ten day AIB/ DCU extravaganza have already learnt the new song by heart and are preparing to sing it in a choral event to be held at DCU towards the end of semester . The date of the AIB/DCU charity gig hasn’t yet been finalized yet, but any indymedia ireland reader -and you don't have to be an AIB customer - who is interested in joining can give us a call at the above number or email us .

 "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a cumalative song, meaning that each verse is built on top of the previous verses. There are twelve verses, each describing a gift given by AIB on one of the twelve days of Christmas . The song is of course based on the old Christmas Carol . Here to give the flavour of the new song are its first two verses

 On the first day of Christmas AIB gave to me Smart Touch media for free

 On the second day of Christmas AIB gave to me a CompareBookPass etc etc
