    Financial Regulator Resigns

    Financial Regulator Pat Neary has announced his resignation, just on the RTE News at 9.

    "The Minister for Finance, Mr. Brian Lenihan, TD, notes the statement today of the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority concerning its report on matters surrounding directors' loans in Anglo Irish Bank and the regulatory response.

    The Minister notes the retirement of the Authority's Chief Executive and that, pending the appointment of a new Chief Executive, the Chairman of the Authority will take on an expanded executive role and that an Acting Chief Executive will be appointed.

    The Minister will consider the Authority's report and will then bring proposals to Government in relation to the appointment of a new Chief Executive."

    Its only a chat, we ain't the world council.
    In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.

    'bout time...

    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

    RTE News, quote: "Financial Regulator Patrick Neary...has decided to retire".

    This country is such a joke.
