Marc MacSharry: As a result, did syndicates coming together fuel the boom?

Marc MacSharry: In the 2000-01 era, the then Government was preparing a national spatial strategy. Did Jones Lang LaSalle make a submission to that?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (2 Apr 2015)
Marc MacSharry: The national spatial strategy, Mr. Moran may recall, involved a call for public submissions, and individuals, local authorities, auctioneers or anybody else could make one. Then it was prepared, as I understand it, by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government with input from spatial planners from Denmark or other such expertise that was procured by the State at the...

Marc MacSharry: Mr. Moran mentioned that Jones Lang LaSalle does not comment on the future. In July 2007, its then chairman stated that while accepting house prices might fall 10%, the prospects for the following year for commercial property look very promising. At the time, did Mr. Moran believe the assessment by the ESRI that there was going to be a soft landing? Did his clients? To what extent does he...

Marc MacSharry: To what extent were those comments providing false confidence to the market?

Marc MacSharry: I welcome Ms Hunt and thank her for taking the time to be here. With the benefit of hindsight, and given what Jones Lang LaSalle's representative stated earlier and what Ms Hunt stated in her own testimony here in terms of relying on houses such as the IMF and ESRI, is there a need in the bigger firms, such as her own, Jones Lang LaSalle, DTZ, for more self-generated research as opposed to...

Marc MacSharry: Is it Ms Hunt's belief that there needs to be a forum of data sharing between various bodies of the State and the commercial world?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (2 Apr 2015)
Marc MacSharry: In terms of property syndicates, Ms Hunt had a table which showed that, in a large amount of the investment, they were the biggest players as the market developed. Is that correct?

Marc MacSharry: As Ms Hunt is on the research side, in her objective view, did it add any element of recklessness to the market? Individuals could involve themselves at very minimal risk because of the numbers of people in a syndicate. They could get involved in a small way in what happened to be a big syndicate and were therefore driving a market without any identifiable direct impact on themselves.

Marc MacSharry: Was its impact reckless or positive in Ms Hunt's view?

Marc MacSharry: Were syndicates in other countries regulated?

Marc MacSharry: Is there regulation of syndicates in Ireland today?
- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Apr 2015)
Marc MacSharry: I second the amendment proposed by Senator O'Brien. It is time Mr. Justice Nial Fennelly's interim report was published. It would be useful to do that in the interests of everybody, including the Taoiseach. I do not believe the rumours about the Taoiseach having shafted the then Garda Commissioner are useful. Whether they are true or not, we need to get the facts of the matter and the...

Marc MacSharry: I welcome our guests and thank them for attending. Mr. O'Regan quoted from a number of articles earlier, one of which was written by Brendan Keenan. Morgan Kelly was mentioned in that article in the context of an ESRI forecast. What was the headline on that article?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Marc MacSharry: I would be interested in discovering whether the headline stated "ESRI gives positive outlook" or "Morgan Kelly says there is going to be a crash".

Marc MacSharry: Mr. O'Regan stated earlier that his primary fixation was optimising sales of newspapers.
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Marc MacSharry: In doing that job, would that fixation involve editing in a way to try to ensure that an editorial would take the form of something people either want to hear or need to hear?

Marc MacSharry: Is that a "Yes" or a "No"?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (26 Mar 2015)
Marc MacSharry: Okay, but that might also be what they want to hear.

Marc MacSharry: Will Mr. Doorly indicate if there is a property sales executive and a recruitment sales executive or is it just a general position?
