Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. Simon Carswell:

I do not think so. In terms of the figures the Deputy mentioned, they believed there was only €500 million of bad debts. I think they believed that. Given where the market was at that point they felt there was not a solvency issue; at least that is what they were presenting in private meetings at that time.
