Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. John Dunne:
Well, I don't think anybody suggested it from the outside but it's clear in retrospect that, you know, the regulator could have gone back to Government and said "We don't have enough powers and we need to get some more" because clearly that was a feature of the situation. So, I think, there was a recognition within the regulator that new powers would have been helpful but for whatever reason, we didn't pursue it.
