- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Institute of International and European Affairs
Governance of the ECB: Past, Present and Future (30 Apr 2015) Michael McGrath: I suppose, what I am asking you is if it had been decided before that. Now we know, it certainly has been reported that persons from within the ECB were briefing the media, in the days leading up to the formal announcement of a programme, that Ireland would have to enter into a programme. So the question is, had the ECB arrived at a conclusion, prior to that letter to Minister Lenihan on 19...

- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (29 Apr 2015)
Michael McGrath: Thank you very much Chair. I would like to welcome Mr. Sheehy and Mr. Buckley. Mr. Sheehy, you passed a comment earlier on that the guarantee did not cost anything. That would be quite different to the commonly-held view about the guarantee so can you just elaborate on what you mean by that?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (29 Apr 2015)

- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (29 Apr 2015)
Michael McGrath: Did AIB have senior debt?
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (29 Apr 2015)
Michael McGrath: You said in response to the Chairman that AIB did need a guarantee at the end of September 2008, so by extension would the bank not have survived if there had not been a guarantee intervention?

Michael McGrath: How quickly would it have become fatal for AIB if there had not been a guarantee?

Michael McGrath: I suppose what I am asking is, if the Government had sent you home that night and said, "Look, we are not getting involved, sort out your own problems", what would the future have been for AIB and how quickly would matters have developed in your opinion?

- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (29 Apr 2015)
Michael McGrath: And the guarantee provided that liquidity.
- Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Nexus Phase (29 Apr 2015)
Michael McGrath: Can I just ask about the issue of a four-bank guarantee, because your testimony and that of Mr. Gleeson is quite consistent on that issue? You had the clear impression that a four-bank guarantee was being considered, not a six-bank guarantee. On what basis did you have that impression?
