Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Tom Browne:
I suppose every day I worked in Anglo I worked kind of to my best of my ability. I suppose I used my best judgment in any decisions I made or any decisions I influenced while I was there. When I left the bank in 2007 I felt I'd done a good job and I felt I left behind a bank that there was no undue stress when I was walking out the door. So all decisions I took when I was there and implemented, I took them all in good faith. You know, when I handed in ... when I told the chief executive and the chairman that I was leaving, it was the board's decision to actually decide whether I was entitled to, you know, a payment. I decided I was leaving. Whether I got one or not was irrespective. I was leaving, my race was run. And, you know, the board decided that they were going to actually recognise my efforts over the previous 15 or 16 years.
