Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support what Senator Bacik proposed in regard to the recent comments by the Director of Public Prosecutions which were very interesting and particularly with regard to white collar crime. The sad aspect is that this State, in my view, failed in supervising the banks to ensure a clear-out of all the people who were culpable, both at board level and at senior management level. This never fully happened and that is one of the outstanding issues that needs to be dealt with.
