Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. John McCarthy:

What we have, Chairman, is we have economists ... ramped up the number of economists in the economic division and we have ramped up the number of banking specialists in the banking division. They're on secondment, typically, from the NTMA. But we do interact much more. So I mentioned the policy committee. So there is more joined-up thinking. The rationale behind this policy committee is to break down the silo approach to make sure that everybody is on the same page. So not ... to specifically answer your question, not financial experts in the economic division - they're in a separate division - but we work closely.
