Shane Ross (Dublin South, Independent)

Is it satisfactory to the Minister that a majority of those people who were advising the commission, chosen, apparently, by Mr. Peter Nyberg, should be either bankers or former officials of the Department of Finance? Is it not correct as a result that at the very least we should know how those people were chosen? What is so unsatisfactory in the response which the Minister has given - he has been fine on the detail of the sum of €889,000 and I do not have any quarrel with that - is that we are not being told who Mr. Nyberg consulted when he decided to put so many bankers on a commission to investigate the banks.
