Do the bankers still not get it? Just when you would have thought that Ireland's bankrupt banks couldn't stick their size eleven feet even further into it, we learn that Anglo Irish, that taxpayer-sustained basket case masquerading as a bank, had paid "modest" pay increases to 70 of its staff.

News of the increases comes just days before Anglo reports its results for the 15 months to the end of December 2009. These are expected to reveal that Anglo has written off a further €14bn of bad loans and total losses of €12bn

Former Anglo Irish boss FitzPatrick arrested

Sean FitzPatrick, the former chairman and chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank, lost €16m on shares he held in rival banks and will disclose this week that he cannot repay an estimated €50m that he owes to a number of other financial institutions.

A statement of affairs by FitzPatrick for Anglo Irish reveals he lost €10m on an investment in Bank of Ireland and €6m in AIB. His biggest loss was in Anglo Irish, in which he held 5m shares. These were worth €80m at their peak but are now worthless as the bank was nationalised last year.

Over a year since Anglo was nationalised and still no Assessor of compensation appointed yet. Total disregard by Irish Government for PIs - still only to be expected.

Real own goal by Fianna Fail(sic) but now so many everyone has lost count!!!!!

Quinn Finance Holding - very active for a dormant company




THE QUINN family displayed a somewhat relaxed attitude to the fact that Quinn Finance Holding, a company that stands at the top of a family asset portfolio that stretches from Anglo Irish Bank to Sweden and Russia, has been listed for strike-off.

The chief executive of the VHI, Jimmy Tolan, has called on Seán Quinn to clarify exactly how much has been lost by the family and the Quinn Group through the family's disastrous investment in Anglo shares.

Quinn himself has spoken of losses of "more than one billion" while a spokesman has describe as "speculative" a report that the loss was in the region of €2.5 billion.

Quinn Group, Quinn's main trading company which owns Quinn Healthcare, wrote off €888 million over two years and said the investment would have no further impact on the business.

The family group of companies is owned by Quinn Finance Holding, an unlimited company which does not file accounts. Its subsidiary, Quinn Finance, is in a similar position.

The former has failed to file its auditor's report for 2008 in the time required, and this is why it has been listed for strike-off. The family spokesman described it as a "dormant holding company" and said the document would be filed by the end of the month.

Dormant is not the word that comes to most people's minds when considering companies that were engaged in borrowing hundreds of millions of euro, from the now nationalised Anglo Irish Bank, so as to buy shares in that bank. Presumably the ongoing inquiry by the Financial Regulator into the matter is not dormant either

QUINN family company centrally involved in the taking of loans from Anglo Irish Bank in 2008 to buy a 15 per cent stake in the now nationalised bank has been listed for strike-off.

The unlimited company, Quinn Finance Holding, can be struck off at the discretion of the Companies Registration Office (CRO), or otherwise within one month.

If struck off, the company would be dissolved five days thereafter. Its assets would then become the property of Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan, according to a spokesman for the CRO.

The company has been listed for strike-off because of its failure to file an auditor's report and annual return for 2008 within the time required. Unlimited companies do not have to file annual accounts and their shareholders do not benefit from limited liability, but they do have to file an annual return and auditor's report.

Manchester United bond issue falls flat



Manchester United may be in contention for another Premier League title, but its success on the pitch has worked little magic in the City. The club's first bond issue, launched barely two weeks ago, has become one of the market's worst performers this year.

While the club has secured the £500m ($798m) funding that it needs to refinance its bank debt, the paper losses suffered by investors could affect its ability to return to bond markets.

The bid price of United's £250m of sterling-denominated bonds has dipped to 93% of face value
