Is it not because of the cases of so many determined families and advocates such as Padraic Kissane that this was exposed? The Central Bank ultimately determined the final matter. It was not just a matter of AIB working through all this and making decisions. If it was not for those determined families and advocates such as Padraic Kissane, this would never have come to the fore. It would be honest of Mr. Byrne to accept the role that the families and these people have played in bringing this issue to light and in bringing AIB reluctantly to the point at which the 500 cases are being considered.
