Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion
Mick Barry (Cork North Central, Solidarity) | Oireachtas source
The Davy case is an example of casino capitalism. Ms Rowland talked about groupthink and if there is groupthink, it applies to a culture of greed and entitlement.
I think what is displayed is a sense of being untouchable, which is a sense that needs, in my opinion, to be really shaken. For me, the long arm of the law needs to feel a few white collars here.
On that, Ms Rowland has indicated fairly clearly that she does not intend to call the gardaí in. If I heard her correctly, she indicated that should other agencies wish to discuss the report with her that she would be "satisfied" to do so. She has also indicated that she has "had tentative engagement with some", which implies more than one. With whom has the Central Bank had these tentative engagements? Did they include An Garda Síochána?
