Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Dermot Gleeson:
I ... It's a different thing to say that I don't recall the word, Deputy, that's all I can say. I don't have a full recollection. I did the best I could to make a note a few days later, that's my contribution, I'm afraid, to this. Can I say, as you've asked me about this document Chairman, it's important that I would draw issue with some of it, just two points if I can make, Chairman, generally. You see Mr. Burrows is named, most of that is things I said, not Mr. Burrows. I think maybe the top two lines are Mr. Burrows and the rest is me; I can identify things I said, and the reference at the very end of Mr. Burrows is "heard from [Mr. Blank], Treasury", that's an AIB official. And the second thing that's ... not misleading, potentially misleading, is that there's a number of references on the next page to Mr. Neary. I met Mr. Neary in a corridor, but he was never in the decision makers' room when I was there.
