Can the witnesses forgive people for finding it difficult to understand how people in Bank of Ireland representing the public interest who were at the helm of important parts of government when the crisis developed are still at the helm of one of the most important financial institutions in the State and being paid pretty handsomely for it? Can Mr. Walsh understand people being pretty annoyed about that? The insiders who were at the helm when the crisis blew are still on the inside, still at the helm, while the people are suffering the consequences of the crisis that has developed.
