Allied Irish Banks. One of the 'Big Four' Irish commercial banks. In February 2009 the government included AIB in a €7 billion rescue plan and on the 30th of September 2010 the Government took a majority stake in the bank, meaning that it is now a nationalised bank.

So today, we want to know what do you think. Would you welcome the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Ireland today, similar to France?
