I do not have time to discuss all the banks. I was focusing on that one. I am shuddering at what has happened as a result of bailing out that bank and other banks in the manner in which we did. To this day we are still struggling to get accountability for the liquidation of one bank and the costs. Deputy MacSharry has gone into this in detail. People are dying on our streets and a decision was made to bail out a bank that should never have been bailed out. Does that not cause the witness to shudder?
