- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Sale of IBRC Mortgage Loan Book: Discussion (26 Feb 2014)
Luke Flanagan: Mr. Wallace reckons the liquidator is getting the best price, but it will not let certain people bid. If I went to the mart to buy an animal and if certain people were excluded, that would inevitably affect the price. How is Mr. Wallace sticking by the special liquidator's objective of maximising sales realisation in the public interest without taking all potential bids?

Luke Flanagan: How does Mr. Wallace satisfy himself that the special liquidator's objective of maximising sales realisation is in the public interest? It is obviously not getting the best price. If PwC held up a black card and told Mr. Wallace it was white, would he contest it?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Sale of IBRC Mortgage Loan Book: Discussion (26 Feb 2014)
Luke Flanagan: In letters to the mortgagors of IBRC, the liquidators stated the special liquidators' objective of maximising sales realisations in the public interest under section 3(h) of the IBRC Act 2013. The liquidators refused to allow the mortgagors to bid for their loans. As far as I can see, the liquidators are acting illegally by excluding potential bidders. The normal answer we get is that it...
