Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase

I want to put a quotation to you from Mr. Drury’s evidence to the inquiry in response to a question from Senator O’Keeffe concerning whether unemployment was on the agenda or had been discussed. He said, "The rise in unemployment was something that, you know, we would all have been conscious of, nobody needed to raise it." Now, that is a direct contradiction of your witness statement where you refer to the Druids Glen meeting, on page 2 of your statement, as the "dinner on unemployment", and you've referenced that in your comments. I just, again, ask you to square that particular dichotomy, if you can.
