The bank has done the bare minimum and listened to the Sunday Independent extracts that we have all listened to. Other material is not in the public domain. Nobody else has access to it bar the Central Bank, an Garda Síochána, the Director of Corporate Enforcement and some former directors of Anglo Irish Bank. We cannot do it. Professor Honohan said earlier that we are the Oireachtas and we devise the laws. He is the Governor of the Central Bank. He must listen to the tapes and find out if there have been any breaches.
