Shane Ross (Dublin South, Independent)

Can the Tánaiste tell me, generally, are the public interest directors doing anything in these banks? If they did not inform the Government about the pedigree and the detailed history of the person who was to be the governor of the Bank of Ireland then they were not doing their job. Did they report to the Minister and explain the situation? Did they report to the Minister and explain about the man who was to be appointed and his history? Did the Minister know this and accept it?
