Neary and Hurley are scheduled to be grilled by the Oireachtas Committee on Finance and the Public Service on Wednesday morning on the bank guarantee and “the relationship between Financial Institutions and the regulatory and supervisory environment”
Neary won’t be able to hide behind Jim Farrell this time. Expect fireworks
Unbelievable. That’s the danger with creating these independent agencies, they end up believing they answer to nobody except the government of the day who appoints them.
Hey guys a little bit of decorum here for gods sake. Now at this point as far as I am aware this Neary fella already knows what hes gettin as a payoff so why the feck should he bother his arse goin in front of another committee? I mean its not like hes gonna get any extra is it? Or that there may be a moral level he might try to reach by apologiising and explaining himself with the truth absolutely no way at all. It in fact should be jailtime but our systems so corrupt we dont know who is more guilty of neglect of duty Neary or the politicians.
PN - “I’m not going to lie to the committee”
BC - “It’s probably best you don’t go at all then”
PN - “Fair enough, can I get a reference letter off you then?”
I was thinking of leaving it at the answerable to no one… but I’m sure PN is answerable to someone… and that someone probably ask him not to turn up today.
Your mistaken if you thought I was referring to the public as his paymasters you see
Worth every penny, that man. Please collect a €520k lump sum and €170k pa (index linked) for the rest of your days. You do not have to pass Go, of course - we wouldn’t want to put you out.
our system has failed the people. It couldnt be more clear. We need change. More than just an election I fear. We probably need a new constitution and reform of many many many sections of public life.
I bet some of whats gone on may not even be against the law even if morally repulsive.
I can not get my head around how the dail went through its business yesterday. This business of ta and nil shouting. At least the main vote was electronic and transparent.
