In many cases, auctioneers do not enjoy the trust and confidence of the public. Why is this? Let me make three references. In the course of one of the tribunals we saw one of the highest profile auctioneers in the State, a man of huge reputation, who was not only the auctioneer and agent in charge of selling a property but was also a buyer. He was acting on behalf of an order of nuns who trusted him implicitly because he was a daily Massgoer etc. and they could not believe he would do any wrong. That was a shock to all of us.
