Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Michael Torpey:

Yes, Deputy. I would think ... you know ... pay levels in the banking business at the time, were undoubtedly very high. I believe that the incentives were driven on a balanced scorecard basis reflecting the variety of objectives which constituted the make-up of the overall banking situation. And I think in terms of the lessons learned ... I think the approach to remuneration in banking internationally, particularly the EBA approach to guidelines for remuneration in banking, have taken on board lessons learned, not just in Ireland, indeed, internationally from the weaknesses of remuneration structures that may have existed, or did indeed, exist in the past.
