Paul Murphy: Why does the Minister think that Goldman Sachs has agreed to this on a pro bonobasis similar to four other groups on the panel he mentioned?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: State Banking Sector (4 Feb 2015)

Paul Murphy: It is naive or disingenuous to consider that Goldman Sachs staff are just interested in the high visibility work and that it does not enter their minds that future clients will say Goldman Sachs saw the inside of AIB and that will encourage them to go to the company rather than another firm.
