Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Role and Contribution of Public Interest Directors in Financial Institutions: Discussion
2:15 pm
Mr. Dick Spring:
I thank the Deputy for his words of welcome. I must disagree with him in terms of the options with which we were faced. Many of the people involved were middle ranking bank officials who had served 30 or 40 years in the bank, in respect of whom I believe a little human decency was required.
