“The rain to the wind said, ‘You push and I’ll pelt.’
They so smote the garden bed That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged, though not dead. I know how the flowers felt.”

Robert Frost.

Chairman of Irish Life & Permanent John Bourke speaks with Emma McNamara on Morning Ireland, August 30 2011.

John finds himself unable to suppress a chuckle as he comments on the circumstances of Irish Times letter-writer MP MacDomhnaill – one of many people in difficulty with their mortgage repayments.

Irish Life & Permanent was effectively nationalised in 2011, receiving €3.8bn of state funds.
