Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Tony Grimes:
Okay. I think, though, I need to talk about the timing here. I was appointed to the board of the Financial Regulator authority on 1 May. The first meeting I attended was at the very end of May 2008. The last FSR to be published was done in November 2007.
So, it wouldn't have been that current, of course, at the time I was appointed to the regulatory board. But I mean the issues that were identified in the FSR were the usual ones that, you know ... high rates of increase in credit, indebtedness and so on.
