What does banc a bhriseadh mean? Does it mean a run on the bank, as in huge queues to take deposits away? Or does it mean to burgle the bank and steal gold deposited there? This relates to chapter 18 of Mo Sgéal Féin.

To bankrupt it.

But having read the passage, I'm not sure either.

For people who don't have a copy, it is on p4 of the PDF at http://www.corkirish.com/wordpress/archives/920#more-920

If I find out the meaning, I'll post it here!
