What a complte and utter slime ball.
Lenihan you have been incontrol of this bank for nearly a year.
You have known there are massive loans outstanding to Sean Fitzpatrick.
The world and its mother could have made an educated guess that Sean Fitzpatrick was not making repayments but you, you slimey manipulator pull a stunt like "no one told me"
Your Dad would be proud of you with slop like this, technically correct and all designed to hang someone else.
If I was Mike Aynsley I would get the next plane back to Oz as he now knows what utter slimeballs he is dealing with and is just a pawn in a giant Fianna Fail ponzi protection scheme.
Let's get something straight.
As controller of a Nationalised bank, the fact that you didn't know the most significant details of the central figure in the whole debacle is no one's fault only yours.
There are only two possible conclusions to be drawn
1. It is staggerring incomptence to imagine that in 9 months while he controlled this bank Brian Lenihan hasn't once asked for an update on Sean Fitzpatrick's affairs or
2. He is lying through his teeth that he didn't know.
There is a scene in Casino where Robert De Niro sacks his casino floor boss for allowing the 1 million jackpot to hit three times in an hour.
he says "Look either you are in on the scam or you are too dense to know its a scam. either way you are no good to me, you're fired.."
In other words you are either a liar or an incompetent.
Capiche Lenny?
