Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. Gerry O'Regan:

I would not. What I would like to do is to put that in context. The Irish Independent, in common with various newspapers, has award ceremonies. We have had theatre awards, sports star awards, young entrepreneur of the year awards and, I think, maybe young scientist awards, etc. Going back to that time, we had an award for the property industry which was, as I said, in the context of the knowledge which we had at that time, whereby this was taken at a time when it was believed that the economy, the construction industry and the development of it was critical to our economic development.
