    Anyone know the answer to question 39: Which assets was Bank of Ireland ordered to sell by the European Commission earlier this year as a condition for the approval of state aid for the institution?

    I think the answer is New Ireland Assurance Company plc and ICS Building Society but I'm not sure. Perhaps there's more assets they have to sell as well that I have left out.

    For this, I can help with other questions if you need them.

    Cheers!

    It's David Hodgkinson, the new Chairman of AIB. If you do a Google Image search, the same picture of him comes up so it's definitely him.

    Anyone have a concrete answer for 39? DO people think "Bank of Ireland Asset Management" and "US Foreign Exchange" need to be included as part of it?

    I think 34 was the new AIB chairman David Hodgkins

    So does anyone know if the competition winner was announced or when it will be announced - will we get the list of correct answers.

    Closing date was Jan 7th so I assume result should be in next week's paper. I guess they will issue answers at the same time.
