Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Context Phase
Mr. Ed Mulhall:
Again, this refers back to Deputy Higgins's point. The planning programmes that I mentioned dealt with that nexus in terms of planning issues. One programme directly related to the committee investigation was "Prime Time Investigates: Meet the Bankers", which aired immediately after the guarantee in early 2009. That dealt directly with two big financial institutions among those involved in the nexus phase. That programme had details about how the Financial Regulator dealt with them. It was revealed in that programme how the regulator dealt with loans to businesses and other people, including politicians.
