Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Let us cut to the chase and to the last of my questions and to a question that has not been posed. How appropriate was it in the opinion of the Taoiseach that a director of the Central Bank, appointed by the Taoiseach as a member of the regulatory authority, would be engaged in debate on matters fiscal and economic, job creations and budgetary issues etc. with three, either then or previous, senior directors of Anglo Irish Bank? In fairness to the former regulator, he has indicated that in his opinion such contact, socially or otherwise, would be wholly inappropriate. What is the Taoiseach's view?
