Video footage of Allied Irish Bank's shareholder meeting where angry shareholders expressed their disappointment at the financial institution's board.

Shareholder bitterness at poor lending decisions was manifest when Gary Keogh, a shareholder at the Allied Irish Bank threw eggs at the board members at its 2009 AGM.

The bank which was once renowned for its regular dividend payments, attracted a strong income-stock dependent  clientele, especially pensioners, has seen its stock drop by more than 95% in the past year.

The pained outburst of Mr. Keogh is a physical demonstration of the trauma investors face when boards fail, not simply to perform, but also to communicating in a credible and contrite manner the circumstances that led to the slip.
