Richard Boyd Barrett: -----from the Brexit to the European economy to the refugee crisis, and so on. Given this report, is the Taoiseach going to go back to the European Council and say now we have a European body itself saying that Europe was significantly responsible for failing to recognise the warning signals, which it was supposed to be monitoring, and that the programme management of the bailout may have...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Banking Sector and Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (26 Jan 2016)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank Professor Lane. On 10 January I received a communication, including a protected disclosure in respect of the Central Bank, from somebody who describes himself or herself as a whistleblower. I am assuming it is the same communication Deputy Mary Lou McDonald received prior to Christmas because they sound pretty similar. Obviously, the person in question is not happy with how the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Banking Sector and Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (26 Jan 2016)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I will not pursue it any further except to say I have read the Deloitte & Touche report and it did not shed any great light on the rights and wrongs of this situation. It does carry a lot of weight with me that a professional association would advise somebody not to suppress findings. If Professor Lane is saying that reforms took place subsequently in the areas identified in the...

Richard Boyd Barrett: That is reasonable advice, but are banks allowed to do this? Having done a deal, is a bank within its rights to blacklist a customer because of a failure to discharge the conditions of an original loan, a loan which everybody knows was problematic? This is not somebody who ran off and did not pay, this is somebody who has put in financial statements, who has made their precise economic...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Banking Sector and Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (26 Jan 2016)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Having read over the Deloitte report again, as alluded to in the earlier round of questions, KPMG had done a quality assessment which identified problems in governance inside the bank. If I understand this correctly, this led to the setting up of the internal audit. The person who carried out the internal audit has stated that information is being suppressed and was then subsequently let...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Banking Sector and Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (26 Jan 2016)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I think it is quite worrying. The time lag is an issue. The whole process began in 2012 and yet by the of 2015, we still have not rectified the problems that were initially identified. It is still a work in progress.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Banking Sector and Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (26 Jan 2016)
Richard Boyd Barrett: It is perfectly understandable that, given the dispute, we remain to be convinced. I view the Government's growth projections for the economy as fanciful, to put it mildly, given what has been said about the likelihood or possibility of an international recession. Is Professor Lane in a position to comment on this? Is it not a dangerous game to be playing, to be predicting very...
