PERMANENT TSB BANK is up for sale - giving the State an opportunity to remove its last share in an Irish bank 17 years after it bailed out banks during the financial crash.

The Government sold its last shares in Bank of Ireland in 2022, and in AIB during the summer, making PTSB the last major state-owned bank.

Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe, who is the majority shareholder of Permanent TSB holding over 57% of shares, has welcomed the decision.
In a statement today he said the government believes that it is in the long-term interests of PTSB and citizens in general that the Bank be returned to full private ownership.

The Department of Finance has appointed Rothschild & Co and William Fry as financial and legal adviser, while the bank has appointed Goldman Sachs International as financial advise

I was listening to this video from this guy who is a Left Winger and in the video he describes how his worldview and belief in the system changed the moment a migrant hotel opened right beside him in his area - and it parallels all the videos we see in Ireland (gangs of arab/african men loitering around parks, recording themselves around playgrounds, following girls around etc).
