I thank Professor Hardiman for coming. On pages 3 and 4 of her presentation she refers to the close relationships which developed between "banks, builders, developers and political leaders." There is also a reference to Ireland's poor ranking in the global competitiveness index of the World Economic Forum in 2014. Among the poorest ratings for Ireland was "favouritism in decisions of government officials". If the Professor is familiar with this, will she give us some examples of such favouritism?
