    Yes, I find that very odd. If they def had the 10 names then there would be more.

    Sadly not, the only thing here that would shock me is if Elvis was on the list.

    I think we can assume what they printed - ie they had six names and confirmed four of them to their satisfaction.
    They may well have had other names of lesser provability, or names who as I suggested may have threatened an injunction. I repeat, I am only speculating in that regard.

    Do you think any of the others are?

    Anglo books are a who's who of the Celtic tigers - Analysis, Opinion - Independent.ie

    Sean Mulryan, Bernard McNamara, Johnny Ronan, Gerry Gannon and Seamus Ross represent just five heavyweight developers -- and acknowledged Fianna Fail supporters -- on Anglo's loan books.
    Government, Anglo and the developers...

    Building company Pierse also gave €1,200 to Ryan in 2002 and it has received funding from Anglo for many projects, while Gerry Gannon's Gannon Homes also donated €1,100 to Eoin Ryan in 2004. Gannon Homes has been backed by Anglo from the early 1990s and Gannon himself is in the Anglo share register.


    In 2005, Gannon gave €2,000 via a golf classic to Ivor Callelly. That year Callely stepped down as minister of state at the Department of Transport.

    They should look a little bit more into this...

    Longford-born Ross runs Menolly Homes, the country’s biggest housebuilder. He owns Dunboyne Castle in Co Meath

    I think the idea that, somehow, by naming the 10 it would prevent them ever going to trial due to adverse publicity is rubbish .Lets face it not one person involved in dodgy bank or financial shenanigans in this country will ever see the inside of a gaol.Get a grip....this is Ireland.Period.

    God save Ireland

    Yes. It's appalling. And shocking.

    Certainly appalling.
