Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Donal Forde:

They wouldn't have one, you know, we did become very centralised, I mean I think I describe it in my statement. The divisional chief credit officer had a discretion of €40 million. Below that we had senior lending and sorry, forgive me, the divisional chief credit committee had a discretion of €40 million. The chief credit officer, I think, had €20 million, from memory and then we had a number of senior lending executives who had the order of €8 million to €10 million and pretty much after that, you know, they within their teams might pass that down one level more but we were dealing with a pretty centralised system where the local branch manager would have no discretion.
