Shane Ross (Independent)

I am making a serious point. I see no reason people of that stature and power in our society should not be answerable to parliamentary committees. There is no reason the Seanad should not call them in. While they lend so much money which will cause so much misery, some bankers draw sums of up to €2.8 million in salary per annum. That is the figure revealed for at least one banker. It would be nice to have him here to justify his salary too.
