Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh Mr. Moran. I was looking at The Irish Timespiece that Mr. Moran had in 2008 looking forward to 2009, when the podcast went off. I am not being paid by The Irish Timesto do that deliberately. It is the second time it has happened, so my apologies.

Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (2 Apr 2015)

Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh an tUasal Hunt chuig an coiste. I believe that at the previous meeting, I may have taken her name in vain when I was talking about the financial stability update in 2007.
