dc.description.abstract | An examination into the figures of the combined balance sheets
furnished quarterly by the Currency Commission discloses the financial
strength of the banks operating in An Saorstat, and the liquidity of their
assets Such an examination conveys the assurance of security for the
deposits of their customers. The efficiency with which this duty has been
carried out is displayed by the fact that for nearly a century no Irish
bank has failed to repay its deposits. Ireland has been spared the disasters
that befell from time to time the banks of many countries, begotten
by adventurous banking or by deviation from the course upon which
commercial banking can be safely conducted, and which alone will
insure the prompt payment to their deposit-holders for whom they act
in the nature of trustees. As we are not conscious of good health while
we possess it, and do not appreciate its value until it becomes impaired,
so likewise, we are apt not to appreciate the value of good banking
while it is functioning in health. | en |
