Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) Shane Ross: Mr. Moran is leaving after two, which is fairly premature. I am interested in that. Mr. Moran says he has achieved stability in the banking sector. It was reported that Mr. Draghi is refusing to release the letter written by Jean-Claude Trichet to Brian Lenihan because he says there are ongoing concerns about financial stability risks in Ireland. He is not quite ad idemwith what Mr. Moran...

Mr. Draghi states that the ECB decided not to release this letter for the time being, as "the protection of the public interest as regards monetary policy in the European Union and financial stability in Ireland continued to justify the confidentiality of the letter". He further states that even though several years have passed and the prospects of the Irish...

Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) Shane Ross: They do not want to release it because they think it would affect the stability of the banking system in Ireland, which is a fairly strong statement. It is in reply to a question from Martina Anderson, the Sinn Féin MEP. It is a fairly strong statement to the effect that the dangers that existed in 2010, which were obviously referred to by Jean-Claude Trichet in a letter to Brian...

Finance Accounts 2012 (8 May 2014) Shane Ross: Obviously, Mr. Draghi does not share Mr. Moran's confidence. Otherwise, I presume he would release this letter and say it was historic.
