Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Role and Contribution of Public Interest Directors in Financial Institutions: Discussion
11:45 am
Mr. Tom Considine:
We needed someone who would lead the Bank of Ireland executive team in the hard work required to restore the viability of the bank. While I hear what Deputy O'Donnell is saying, the judgment of the board has been vindicated. When one is working through a crisis, one must make the decisions which will get one to the other side in good order.
