    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is twofold, first to present evidence regarding the returns earned by depository credit institutions in Ireland and second, the bulk of the paper, to look at the possible theories that might be hypothesized to explain the profitability and profit levels of these bodies. A more complete explanation of the profit behaviour of Irish depository credit institutions than is provided here would require a great deal more information - information possessed by the regulatory authorities, and yet to be made available.
