Fingers by Tom Lyons

Fingers by Tom Lyons

This book will take readers into the world of Michael Fingleton, providing an insight into the personality, career and power of a man who took a tiny building society from obscurity to profitability and then to ruin.

"Lyons and Curran ably lead the reader through the mindfield of details, constructing a detailed, vivid, and often frightening insight into life inside Ireland's worst bank''

-- Conor Forrest * InBusiness Magazine (Chambers Ireland) *

"While for a long time, the major topic of debate was Anglo Irish Bank - the subject of many reports and stories and investigations - Lyons and Curran present a highly insightful and damning first look into the real story behind Ireland's worst bank" 

* , InBusiness Magazine (Chambers Ireland), May 2013 *

Fingers does the important job of providing as much insight as possible into what exactly went on inside one of the institutions that has proved so costly to the Irish taxpayer.

It places Fingleton where he belongs, near the centre of the financial meltdown. By showing his rise and fall, and the context in which that happened, it also gives us a handy single-volume account of the greed and recklessness of a whole class of bankers, developers and their political enablers.

This telling of Michael Fingleton’s contribution to the bust is a far superior account of the recent crash than almost all that have gone before it – excepting Simon Carswell’s stupendous Anglo Republic’.
