Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Role and Contribution of Public Interest Directors in Financial Institutions: Discussion
11:15 am

No. It is a qualified "Yes" because the world is a lot more complex than that. There are 4.5 million people at most here. It is a big world and developments outside this country have a huge influence on what happens here. I know that is not always a popular view but nonetheless that is the case. There is no doubt there was a particular culture in regard to how regulation should be conducted and it covered most of the western world. All that is in the mix of how this mess came about. Obviously, all the institutions bear some part-----
