Little Things

BANK OF Ireland seems to have pulled a neat trick as part of its annual enterprise week, which starts today.

Next Wednesday, Michael Dawson, chief executive, will address businesspeople at Sligo’s Glasshouse Hotel at 7.45pm on “enterprising our way forward”.

At the same time, in Swords, Michael Dawson, chief executive, will address a gathering on personal effectiveness and networking.

Confused?

Bank of Ireland hasn’t managed a breakthrough in cloning. Michael Dawson, the head of the Gift Voucher Shop, will be in Sligo, while Michael Dawson, chief executive of Leinster Rugby, will take to the podium in Swords. A Leinster win in the Heineken Cup final should guarantee a full house for rugby Mick.

NCB STOCKBROKERS yesterday hosted its eighth charity day (right), donating commissions earned to a number of good causes, including ISPCC Childline, Our Lady’s Hospice the Sean Leonard Fund, and Trinity Access programmes.

Since 2003, the stockbroker has raised an impressive €1.5 million for 18 nominated charities from these “fun” days.

Commissions are harder earned now, and it’s good to see NCB continue to do its bit for charity.
