Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Ajai Chopra:
Again, you know, I don't want you to get the impression that we were out here, or on the phone or visiting Ireland to badger the authorities, no. You know, in my statement I cited three occasions. The three occasions are: the February visit by Mr. Mody, the Article IV consultation in 2009 which is a standard annual thing although it was missed in 2008 - so, again, that gives a natural opportunity to raise the issue - and then it was a whole year before the 2010 Article IV consultation for the issue to be raised yet again. So it is not like ... don't get the impression that we were out here badgering the authorities to get into a programme.
