Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. John Moran:
I mean, I think ... I think you can do it. I mean, I'm not suggesting you take away the decision-making forum, that's the Cabinet, right, I'm just saying the thought process - understanding the different sides, understanding the different options - I think is fine. I think we've made a lot of progress, at the level of the State, on risk assessment. It's now a risk assessment ... we've a risk ... I mean, during my time, with myself and John Corrigan, a risk officer was appointed at the NTMA, there was one appointed at the Department, I think there were others. We made ours a member of the management team, rather than just a junior official, right, and we have a risk committee. That can all feed up. I think it would be a useful exercise, once a quarter, to actually just look at all the risks with the Government and the senior officials.
