Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)

Ciarán Lynch: We dealt with this issue with representatives of the Irish Examineryesterday afternoon, and it will also come up with the other media representatives. During the period, there was a view that people felt they had to get on to the property ladder as quickly as possible because of escalating prices.

Ciarán Lynch: Can I just round off with some issues that Senator O'Keeffe and Deputy McGrath raised with Mr. O'Regan, before I go into general questioning?

Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)

Ciarán Lynch: Maybe Mr. O'Regan could talk us through that process. We are used to other jurisdictions, which were mentioned yesterday - the UK in particular - where newspapers are associated with particular political entities.
