Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Role and Contribution of Public Interest Directors in Financial Institutions: Discussion

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-----
