The Sunday Times picks up on it in an opinion piece, although I don't know what "spiky" means. Makes me sound like a punk.

AIB boss cuts a lonely figure
Spiky Brendan Burgess, of the Fair Mortgage Rates Campaign, has accused Bank of Ireland of “hypocrisy” over launching a Financial Wellbeing initiative while charging a standard variable mortgage rate of 4.5%. The average rate across the eurozone is 1.7%.
This, he says, amounts to additional interest of €500 a month or €6,000 a year on a €200,000 mortgage. Even if this is comparing apples with oranges, the bank is still charging a lot for its fruit.
