For more than a year, a replica of the famous Crann an Óir bronze sculpture fronting the former Irish Central Bank headquarters on Dame Street has graced protests against the regulator.
Once the identifiable icon of the watchdog, an inflatable replica of the golden ball — sprayed with the phrase STILL FUNDING GENOCIDE — has become the face of near-monthly protests outside the Central Bank’s new office over its role in facilitating the sale of Israeli bonds in Europe. For Ireland is the home country chosen by Israel in its securities prospectus — essentially an investment brochure — aimed at selling bonds and other instruments to finance the Zionist state.
@Zil We need to identify the individuals in this bank. The interview in Irish media I saw of this bank’s goombah who was defending the sales of the Israeli war bonds, was that of confidence and defiance and was beetroot red with angst as in “how dare you”.
