Name That Buffoon

It has emerged this lunchtime that Daniel Kitchen is set to succeed the controversial Michael Fingleton as Chairman of the embattled lender Irish Life & Permanent. The well known building society have a large market share in the provision of mortgages and loans for home purchases and house construction. Kitchen is an example of the recent trend within corporate Ireland which has seen Boards only appointing people whose name is appropriate to the business in which they are involved. Other well known examples of this phenomenon are Horse Racing Ireland Chief Executive, Dessie Orchid and Newbridge Cutlery Finance Director, Stirling Silver.
