John Deasy: Mr. Moran's predecessor, Mr. John Moran, met the CEO of IBRC. There are no minutes of that meeting. Will Mr. Moran give the committee an idea as to what was expressed on behalf of the Department?

John Deasy: When one looks at the Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Act 2009, it is pretty specific when it comes to the flow of information that should be going from the bank to the Minister and the Department. It talks about any material acquisitions, disposals, investments, realisations or other transactions other than in the ordinary course of Anglo Irish Bank's banking business. In hindsight, was the...

John Deasy: The suspicion is that it was not made clear. We will get down to the nub of this now. The suspicion is that the Act was enacted and the details within the Act were not followed through on and there was not a sufficient level of communication or inquiry when it came to the Department and the bank. There is some reasonable evidence to suggest that the details of the Act and the spirit of the...

John Deasy: At a certain point the Department made a determination that Anglo Irish Bank was not forthcoming enough with regard to its decisions and transactions. Mr. Moran has said that the Department then decided to put an official in on the board to keep an eye on things. The board did not like it. It begs the question whether it should have occurred much earlier. That is the issue. Therefore, we...

John Deasy: Ms Nolan's word choice is interesting - she has no evidence that any transactions were wrong. The Department of Finance would have a very clear opinion with regard to the amounts of money that were recovered from the sale of Siteserv, and the opinion of the Department of Finance was that it was not enough and that the State did not achieve what it should have. That was, in effect, the...

John Deasy: KPMG and former Justice O'Neill are looking into all transactions that took place over €10 million. We are aware of that. What we are delving into here is how quickly a Department acts when it actually raises concerns itself. The answer is - not very quickly. Regardless of the regulatory body dealing with this, there was an awful long time between the raising of the initial concerns...
