Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Ms Mary Harney:

No, Chairman. I'd like to thank the committee for their courtesy and I want to wish you well. I think the work you have ahead is important. It will certainly, hopefully, add to our ... not only our store of knowledge that we've already received from other reports, from Honohan and the other people that have ... Watson and so on, but also that I think it will hopefully improve the economic management of the country. And, I suppose, if there's any message, it is that we all need to be more questioning than perhaps we were, particularly when there's a national consensus. I think that is a time for parliamentarians, particularly members of Government, to get behind that and to be more questioning and that's something I think that we overlooked in ... during the period that we're talking about, during the run-in to the recession.
