Can Mr. Ó Brolcháin see a situation arising where the ESM could take a controlling interest in Irish banks? It is a question Deputy Michael McGrath broached and an obvious one to ask. Would the ESM seek to take controlling interests in Irish banks if the situation arose or would it use a mechanism whereby it would keep a minority interest coupled with preference shares?
