'Like HIQA investigating a mass shooting in a hospital',- McManus on ODCE/Anglo role

It really is a stunning image that brings immediate clarity.

Glad someone thinks so HR!

Yep being ineffectual bar collecting taxes from the little guys seems to be built into the system.
And you won't rise far in the system if you exhibit certain types of ability.

Not in the IMF/EU deal either.

Did you read the quote at all?

Yes. However, it's still ludicrous to compare alleged crimes at Anglo with murder. It's not as if Anglo infected mothers and haemophiliacs with contaminated blood.

Furthermore, criminal investigation of Anglo should have been left entirely to the Gardaí because the ODCE does not have the power to make arrests. The ODCE investigation should have been put on hold until the Garda investigation and possible criminal trials had concluded. Usually, the ODCE takes proceedings only with a view to disqualifying directors who have broken company law.

I suspect there is not much between your view and that of McManus.
