Chapter 2 - Government Debt and Finance Accounts 2013 (14 May 2015) John McGuinness: Reading the document and even given the fact that it refers to what happened in a moment in time, it appears that the IBRC board did what it wanted to do and bullied the Department.

Chapter 2 - Government Debt and Finance Accounts 2013 (14 May 2015) John McGuinness: I accept that, but to try to minimise it by describing it as a moment in time is a bit much. I am reading the documents to inform myself and taking out of them the view that the Department was not up to taking on IBRC and its determination to run on its own without departmental interference. I take out of the documents the view that it did as it pleased to a point. They tell us it had no...

Chapter 2 - Government Debt and Finance Accounts 2013 (14 May 2015) John McGuinness: When we look back on how the collapse happened - we all have a view on it and it is being worked out at another committee - there was a lack of information, a taking of things for granted, a bit of bullying here and there and pressing on by the banks. That culture of pushing the Department around was alive and well. We did not have enough strength from the taxpayers' and the Department's...

Earlier I suggested that we would review it today and determine whether we have to ask the officials to come back in when discussing the general Vote. In the meantime we might take up the issue raised by the Deputies. We can also write to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government about the issue, if necessary. I must leave to...

John McGuinness: Perhaps we should set out the differences the Deputy has outlined by sending a copy of the transcript to the Department to seek clarification on the matters raised. We should also state that if they are not clarified in a satisfactory manner, we will invite the Secretary General and the relevant officials to appear before the committee. I suggest this as a first step.
