What I want to know is whether anybody here from the Central Bank or the Department can tell us who at the time was looking after the interests of those who had insurance policies with Quinn, those who may not have had policies but were paying the 2% levy, and those who, whether self-employed or PAYE workers, were paying their tax every week? It is not only the insurance compensation fund that the taxpayer is being hit with. The activities of companies such as this, associated companies and banks have landed us in a considerable mess in this State. Who was supposed to be protecting us during all of this time?
