Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Ms Mary O'Dea:

Yes, my role in the IMF in April 2103 was as alternate executive director, as Ireland's representative. And as Ireland's representative, I made sure that the negotiations between the staff - and the staff form an independent opinion, independent of the country representative in relation to their view - so that the relations between the staff and the Government authorities got the best outcome for Ireland, and indeed for the IMF.
