Gary Keogh

Gary Keogh was a notable figure in Irish finance activism, best known for his dramatic protest against the AIB bank in 2009, where he threw eggs at the bank's executives during a crisis meeting. He became a symbol of the outrage felt by many ordinary investors who lost significant amounts due to the bank's mismanagement during the financial crash. Keogh, who had previously undergone a kidney transplant, was motivated by a strong sense of fairness and sought to highlight the unfair treatment of shareholders. His actions garnered international media attention, capturing the public's frustration with the banking sector during a tumultuous period in Ireland's economic history. He passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy of standing up against perceived injustices.
