In Vol. 1, page 37, Mr. McAteer and Mr. Moran sent a memo to the board in 2007 - "High growth banks seldom die of old age". They say, "A key balancing act for us is to impress upon the market that Anglo's growth is delivered in a measured and conservative manner, without loosening our credit standards." Isn't your evidence to Deputy Doherty and Deputy Higgins that there were 92% exceptions and Nyberg found that the audit committee ... neither the internal audit nor the audit committee was in a position to challenge credit decisions where the main problems ultimately arose? I mean, wasn't the model unsustainable?
