The Governor can reply when I finish the question. The two individuals who played a prominent role in those tapes, which the Governor refers to as being wrong, were kept within the bank for a long period. They were paid bucket loads of money on the watch of the Governor. The Central Bank knew in 2009 that recordings on that telephone line had been requested by the Garda Síochána. The minutes of the Central Bank meeting discuss the handover of the tapes. Why did the Governor allow these individuals, who did so much damage to the reputation of the country through the nonsense going on in the tapes, not to mention the other damage that could potentially be done, to remain within the bank and to be promoted to senior roles in resolving the Anglo Irish Bank mess?
