Were there codes for the relationship between bank regulators and banks, you know, and what should they be? I mean, one model might be that the bank regulator should be hated by the banks because he is controlling them in the public interest, and not be seen as part of the bank industry. When Governor Honohan gave notice that he was leaving, the headline was "Top Banker Quits". Well, he's the top bank regulator, but ... can that distinction be made, Minister?
