Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Patrick Neary:
Yes, I accept that my attendance there, with hindsight, was ill-judged but on the night in question, I was motivated by the fact that I had very high regard for the retiring chairman. This was to mark his retirement and I felt I'd like to attend that particular thing to mark the occasion of his retirement. But, I mean, it's very difficult now, with the benefit of hindsight, to regard that anything other than ill-judged that it went ahead at all.
