Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. John Gormley:
Absolutely not. It's a very serious matter and I think all of us at Cabinet were aware of our responsibilities and we acted on the best possible information. As I've said already, we were assured that this was a liquidity crisis and that's why we introduced the blanket guarantee on that basis. But to describe it as a bluff, no, certainly not.
