I ask for a debate on the performance and evidence given by Monsieur Trichet last week. It was the most extraordinary performance by Tricky Dicky Trichet. He was elevated up on a platform.The subservient minions of the banking inquiry were seated much lower. He had no difficulty looking down his nose at them. He was introduced in the most submissive and obsequious way as Monsieur le Président. He was totally supercilious. He did nothing wrong; he was not responsible for anything at all. He was just an outside observer. Who on earth would believe that hogwash? Then there was a kind of laudatory editorial in The Irish Times.This is someone who did nothing wrong. He just landed this country in the manure. That is what he did and let us talk about it.
