Mr. Neary, Deputy Shane Ross wrote a book called The Bankersand in it's prologue, 26 November 2008, page 1:

The banking crisis was at fever pitch. The nation's finances were in peril but Ireland's banking elite were celebrating in a private room in a discreet hostelry near Dublin's Stephen's Green ... The bankers were ... careful not to be spotted as they entered and left. Any media story that the regulators were living it up with the bankers would have been dynamite. A view that the two groups were far too cosy was gaining credibility with the public by the day.
