Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Richie Boucher:

But if I could expand, when I joined their corporate bank there was confusion in the bank about property lending. I found that the corporate bank there were certain structures. There was a lack of focus on, say, family owned, large mid-corporate businesses. There was confusion about responsibilities for different sectors and I recommended to the group that we establish within corporate and we bring into corporate a lot more of the higher volume and certain types of more risky lending that was going on in retail Ireland to bring it into corporate, where we thought there was a greater focus and skill set. So that unit that you referred to was brought into corporate.
