Sir, – Does Alan Dukes take us all for amadáns? He tells us that people on the IBRC list of “politically exposed” or “high-profile” persons “were treated in the same way as any other bank customer” (“No special deals for listed Anglo borrowers, says Dukes”, Front Page, January 7th ).
We are asked to believe these people were treated differently in order to ensure they were not treated differently. Indeed “any suggestion to the contrary is without foundation”.
Your correspondent then reported, “The board of the IBRC was updated on politically exposed persons at every board meeting and the Minister was notified of any decision that had a public interest dimension”.
There was no mention of even a raised eyebrow. – Yours, etc,
