As we have a quorum, the Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis is now in public session. Can I ask members and those in the public Gallery to ensure that their mobile devices are switched off? I would like to welcome everyone to the public hearings of the Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis. At our first session this morning, we will focus again on the role of the National Treasury Management Agency during the crisis and we will hear from Mr. John Corrigan, former CEO, NTMA. Mr. John Corrigan joined the NTMA in June 1991 as a director in the funding and debt management unit. In 2001 he was assigned responsibility in the NTMA for the National Pensions Reserve Fund. He was appointed NTMA CEO in December 2009 and retired in January 2015. Mr. Corrigan, you are very welcome.
