Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters relating to Tracker Mortgage Examination and Consumer Protection Framework: Discussion (7 Dec 2017)

John McGuinness: Do we not know that they did? Was it not said they got a bonus? Is there enough hearsay at least to spark the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission into action and scratch the surface to see if an employee or employees of various banks could be unearthed to tell us the information?
