Mr. O'Connell is right. The key thing here is responsibility. The bank has a responsibility to the 3,000 people who work for it. It has a responsibility based on the fact that it has been around for 200 years. It is outrageous that it has refused to come before us time and again despite numerous requests.

It is good that the message coming out of this committee meeting loud and clear is that Ulster Bank has a responsibility to those people and it must come and speak to us.
