    Do they need that many people on the committee? 13 or something.

    Yes. The more people on it, the less accountable they have to be.

    You get extra money for being on a committee don't you know.

    It's a great way of appeasing back benchers and ordinary decent property moguls like Frank Fahey.

    Joan is asking if declarations of interests in bank shares or property (impaired property) should be made public

    I can see it (but as in work can't hear it). Must say it's good to see accountability in action. I'd say Lenihan is in for a hard time, but he's grown into the role at this stage and will give as good as he gets.
