We know now that they were not the entrepreneurial geniuses they led us to understand at the time but in any event, as Ms Moylan correctly pointed out, these are people who were considered to be experts in the area and their record spoke for itself. They were people with considerable experience and expertise and at that time had a long and considerably successful record in property development and banking. Given their level of experience and the perception that prevailed at the time with some people being of the view that some of these individuals should have been running the country, God forbid, did Ms Moylan ever feel bounced into making a decision with which she was uncomfortable given what she said, that these people were experts and they had huge expertise as far as she understood the position to be and as far as the board was concerned?

Did she ever feel railroaded into making a decision with which she was uncomfortable, giving them the benefit of the doubt because they were considered to be the experts in the area?
