There is only so many times we can say how alarming all of this is. If it had happened in any other walk of life - in a private sector company or a situation like that where it did not have a State entity to bail it out - there would have been very serious consequences for lots of people involved. Is there any sense of consequence in respect of what has taken place in the past? Can Mr. O'Brien see any consequence that could be discernible to the public? If I switch from my sad hat to my angry hat, where is the accountability? Where has that gone?
