Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation
(14 Dec 2017)

Marc MacSharry: I am making a statement. We are here on behalf of the people. Mr. Carville cannot answer a basic question. In any normal liquidation – Mr. Carville referred to normal liquidations earlier on – these would be checked and controlled by a committee of inspection under the Companies Act. Is that not correct?

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation
(14 Dec 2017)

Marc MacSharry: Mr. Carville can understand the frustration of the public with this. As I said, I believe this course has been taken because opportunistically. Since someone took a case last Friday, it has provided an angle for the Department and the liquidators to get out the gap. Given the nature of the case being taken, there is no reason why these questions cannot be answered. Is there a risk that...

Marc MacSharry: Is there a risk that three accountants charge at the top rate for repetitive low-expertise work when one lower-grade employee could do that work?

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation
(14 Dec 2017)

Marc MacSharry: How would the Department know that? In a normal liquidation the committee of inspection could say that it sees three partners and two juniors working on a given tranche of work at so many hours and at such a cost. The committee may believe one junior would have sufficed for that work.

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation
(14 Dec 2017)

Marc MacSharry: This is a basic question. Do we have oversight in the Department? Let me put it a different way. Is there expertise in the Department that could challenge something like that? Could someone in the Department decide that a team of three partners and two juniors on a case is too much and that one partner and one junior, or an accounts clerk or one basic chartered accountant would be enough?...
