The Taoiseach’s credibility is in tatters. How are we expected to believe that the crisis in Anglo-Irish Bank was not discussed at Druid’s Glen when the Taoiseach dined with Anglo chairman Seán Fitzpatrick as well as one of Anglo’s board of directors, Gary McGann and Alan Gray, a Director of the Central Bank appointed by Mr. Cowen as Finance Minister in 2007.
“Following questioning from Sinn Fein in the Dáil the Taoiseach has admitted the presence of these two very significant individuals at the Druid’s Glen dinner. Mr. McGann was among five non-executive directors who resigned from Anglo-Irish Bank on January 19th 2009. Alan Gray was appointed as a Director of the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority by Brian Cowen when he was Finance Minister in 2007. “We are expected to believe that the chair of Anglo-Irish, one of its directors, a director of the Central Bank and the Taoiseach met and did not discuss the affairs of Anglo. What sort of regulatory regime was inplace when a director of the Central Bank and IFSRA consorted socially with these senior figures in one of the most corrupt banks in the world? “This Taoiseach and this Government are totally discredited and should resign now. This Government will not be in office long enough to implement the legislation in this terms programme, so there should be no delay in now naming the date for the election to take place.”
Go raibh maith agat,
Cllr Sandra McLellan
