Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Professor John FitzGerald:

No, the people who deal with that were the Central Bank and the regulator, as far as I was concerned. There was not another home to take it to. If they were not going to deal with it, then I was not going to campaign on it. I had not done research on it. It is knowledge that had come to me where I felt a duty to bring it to the attention of the appropriate authorities, but if the appropriate authorities did not do anything, then so be it.
