Mr. Ed Mulhall:

It is very hard to generalise but as a listener, I would think the morning business slot on "Morning Ireland", which really is what the Senator is talking about and is the programme that most normally interviews companies or whatever about their results, is quite critical in terms of its questioning. Sometimes, some of the edgier questions with some of the bank officials over this period would have been in that slot because that was the only time in a lot of cases that bank chief executives were available for interview.
