- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (18 Jun 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: Thanks, Chair. Mr. Cardiff, why did you write that large statement that you gave us and when did you write it?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (18 Jun 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: So it's not a contemporaneous document from 2008?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (18 Jun 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: Can you explain why a lot of the documents over that ... over that month of September, a lot of the official contemporaneous notes are so short and so bitty, with single sentences and words rather than more detailed minutes? Was there a reason for that?

Susan O'Keeffe: No, I just want to concentrate on June and July just for a moment before I move to September, if I may. Would you accept that that's ... that things were not great in June?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (18 Jun 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: Okay. And in a note in ... in July - there was obviously a memo to Government about the budgetary consolidation, obviously, that was going on at the same time - and quite clearly in that note ... it shows exactly how poor the finances were becoming that there was a ... that the ... "As a result, combined with the tax shortfall of at least €3 billion, there is now a strong likelihood...

Susan O'Keeffe: Okay. Where ... we ... we then see in our ... in the notes and things that have been passed to us and have been made available to us, there seems to be a pause in August, where we see no meetings ... no minutes no ... can you explain why there was a silence or a gap in the month of August?
