    Why did they get a guy from the American Enterprise Institute? They're a nutty shower of neocons.

    Sourcewatch:
    The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI) is an extremely influential, pro-business, conservative think tank founded in 1943 by Lewis H. Brown. It promotes the advancement of free enterprise capitalism, and succeeds in placing its people in influential governmental positions. It is the center base for many neo-conservatives.

    Does Dukes have any experience of banking? Why was he appointed in the first place?

    Of course not. He was a lobbyist for the IFA and then a member of staff for Ireland's Commissioner in the EEC before becoming a TD.

    In reward for services rendered to the ruling Kleptocracy in the critical 1987-89 period.
