The 40m bonus to AIB staff is the last straw for the Examiner's editorial writer this morning. He/she seems to be suggesting that if the government don't voluntarily stop those payments, then they should be forced to by any possible means.

It really is time to draw the line in the sand and stand up for ourselves, this battered country and the kind of society we want this to be for our children. There is no point in beating around the bush, and no point in shadow boxing.
