Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. John Moran:

Absolutely. It must be understood the property market is primarily about supply and demand. It is about the general state of the economy. The market, buyers in particular, was not populated by people who did not take advice, who did not have internal advisers or who did not take external advice. People made mistakes and if they paid too much money for a property, they did so with their eyes wide open.
