Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Matters Relating to the Economy: Discussion with Governor of Central Bank (25 Sep 2013)

Pearse Doherty: The Governor can reply when I finish the question. The two individuals who played a prominent role in those tapes, which the Governor refers to as being wrong, were kept within the bank for a long period.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Matters Relating to the Economy: Discussion with Governor of Central Bank (25 Sep 2013)

Pearse Doherty: I appreciate that because the Financial Regulator and the Central Bank are the best placed to give views on potential breaches.

Has the Central Bank only listened to the tapes in the...
