Finance minister Paschal Donohoe asked for a three-week postponement on the final sale of the State’s stake in AIB so he could consult Government about the bank’s exit from “crisis relationships.”Â
Senior officials had sought permission to carry out a “clean-up share disposal” on May 23 to finally end State ownership in the bank after the financial crash.
