One could compare Professor Honohan to the Trinity but there are only two persons in one year - the Irish Central Bank and the European Central Bank. He has a key role here and I am sure he will have no difficulty appearing before the committee but does he not think it would be better if his European colleagues, some of whom seem to have more influence than others, appeared before the committee to find out what happened not just in Ireland, but in Europe? This has European consequences and they should appear before the committee in the context of accountability.
