Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Donal Forde:
He had, from memory, remember I described about the divisional credit committee operating up to €40 million, we then had to refer the cases to the group. I think their discretion was up to €75 million or €80 million. I think then the chief executive had a discretion over that, before it went to the board, from memory. But that was rarely practised, in fairness and I think this would arise because there was obviously some particular deadline that had to be reached. That was rare. It would be unusual that the chief executive would step in and I think it's because of the particular point in time here, Christmas, but that would be an irregular thing. That would not happen and the board would then be advised of any decisions he had made and would be asked to endorse it.
