Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. John Corrigan:

Well, we, at the outset of the crisis, reinforced the small economic team that we had in the NTMA and, certainly, they were happy with the flow of information they got from the Department and from the bank. They developed what's known in the trade as quite a sophisticated pitch book, which is actually up on the NTMA website, and to the extent that they wanted information re-presented or reconfigured in a certain way for, if you like, marketing purposes, certainly, the bank and the Department were extremely helpful in that respect.
