Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Patrick Neary:

Okay. No, as I say, I regret that Mrs. Burke has that impression. I certainly can see how in the weeks and that ... as the crisis started to unfold and a lot of meetings were organised, mainly by the Governor, in relation to liquidity and ELA and things like that, and discussions with the banks, that at short notice, I could be asked to join those meetings and, literally, I ... because of that, wouldn't necessarily involve people from banking supervision. But other than that, I cannot think of any occasions where that would have happened. Now, there wouldn't have been that many meetings, I mean, where that could arise. But all I can say is, you know, I regret that that perception persisted in the organisation.
