With regard to Anglo Irish Bank, on 4 January 2009, the Sunday Independentpublished the following comment from Professor Ahearne:

The markets quite clearly don't believe in the future of Anglo, and yet the Government is saying it's too important to let go. I'm not convinced by this.

Will Professor Ahearne outline the reasons he was not convinced of the Government's view that Anglo Irish Bank was too important to let go? What should have been done at the time?
