- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: I cannot name them but I do know this to be true because they told me themselves. That is how I would know and I am wondering how-----
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: Yes.

Susan O'Keeffe: If they did not declare it, Mr. Mulhall had no way of knowing. Is that right?

Susan O'Keeffe: The "Drivetime" programme on RTE radio has had a series of sponsorship deals with three different banks. How did that come about, given that it is a current affairs programme in a prime time slot?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: How could RTE allow what is effectively a current affairs programme, "Drivetime", it talks about current affairs, to be sponsored by a bank? How could RTE's editorial hat allow a bank, any bank, at any time to sponsor that programme? How could that be? It does not matter about the guidelines but the editorial instinct.

Susan O'Keeffe: With due respect to Mr. Mulligan, I do not think one can compare a bank with a soap powder manufacturer.

Susan O'Keeffe: On page 7 of his contribution Mr. Mulhall said, "Throughout this period in RTE news we were just reporting what was happening." Would it be reasonable to say that RTE was not ever simply reporting but that the language that might be used in a report, the pictures used, the duration of the report and the position in the bulletin and that those things had a hand, act and part in how any report...

Susan O'Keeffe: May I clarify an issue? When Mr. Mulhall talked about the run on the banks story a little earlier, I think he said he stood by his editorial position but said if they wanted to send the Financial Regulator on the programme that was okay. Did I understand that correctly? I was not quite clear on that.

Susan O'Keeffe: How was that not being influenced by the Minister, if Mr. Ed Mulhall then said to the Minister, "Yes, absolutely, Minister if you need it we will let them."?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: That is why I am asking.

Susan O'Keeffe: Sorry, in the interests of clarity, was it the Minister who suggested the Financial Regulator or Mr. Ed Mulhall?

Susan O'Keeffe: Rather than RTE say it. That is what I am trying to get at.
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: I thank Mr. Mulhall.

Susan O'Keeffe: Could Dr. Mercille give us a little insight into the role of public relations companies in liaising between journalists and their clients?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (25 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: According to page 2 of the statement that Dr. Mercille has submitted to the committee today, Independent News and Media "is arguably the dominant media conglomerate in Ireland" and "just like other news organisations, its board has included numerous individuals linked with the corporate establishment". Dr. Mercille might expand on that idea by commenting on those people and the role they...

Susan O'Keeffe: Having looked at the coverage and at the board, would Dr. Mercille's interpretation be that this can be matched? Is that what he is saying?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (25 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: Dr. Mercille has spent time looking at coverage. He has cited the numbers of articles that were written by various people. Others of us have not done that. Is Dr. Mercille satisfied, having done that exercise, that there is a correlation between the profile of the boards of the main newspapers and the profile of their coverage of this issue?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (25 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: Does Dr. Mercille think the journalists who did not write at all about what was going on - he suggested that they ignored it - contributed more to the crisis than those who denied the bubble? People in the latter group could be referred to as the deniers. Which group was more significant? Did they have an equal impact or a shared impact on what happened? The groups are quite different.
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (25 Mar 2015)
Susan O'Keeffe: In Dr. Mercille's experience and research, would he have spoken to people who offered evidence of journalists being subjected to strong or small interference from corporate types who were saying "that is not a great way to be going" or "actually, we do not want to use that story"? Did he experience any of that when he spoke to people?

Susan O'Keeffe: I thank Dr. Mercille.
