Eugene Murphy: The bank does not have any role in it. I do not want to hear the words, "We do not advise." Does the bank have any role in recommending or say in deciding who should carry out the eviction? I am not talking about giving advice; I understand fully from where Mr. Mahon is coming. Does KBC, or any bank for that matter, have a role in deciding who is employed to carry out this work? I would...
