You attended banking courses at University College Dublin, the London Stock Exchange, Harvard Business School, Stanford University and INSEAD Paris, which describes itself as the business school for the world. You attended educational events at the International Institute of Finance and the International Monetary Conference. No doubt in some circles these would be seen as very prestigious institutions. Can I ask you Mr. Gleeson, did the instruction include the fact that within capitalist banking internationally, systemic crises erupted with great regularity all over the world, and that these sprang from very definite causes which were therefore avoidable?
