Does anyone remember back in late 2007, an employee of Irish Nationwide who was being scapegoated for the loans to rogue solicitor Michael Lynn went to High Court to appeal against his dismissal. In his affidavit he stated that Fingleton ran the place like his own personal fiefdom and that substantial loans were approved personally by Fingleton without going though the proper channels of credit committee etc.
That was back in 2007, why didn’t the Financial Regulator investigate Fingleton and Irish Nationwide at that stage!
The Financial Regulator was a deeply lazy, stupid, incompetent and apathetic excuse for a public servant. We’d have had more effective oversight if we’d installed an actual invertebrate in that position.
That said, it’s fair and right that our society will ensure Neary remains so wealthy for the rest of his life that the consequences of his shambolic job performance never visit him or his nearest and dearest in any way whatsoever. It’s the only way they’ll learn.
Nonsense, he’s a giant of a man, an entrepreneur who hit a hole-in-one on his first round of golf.
And here he is, dragged to the stocks to be gawked and sneered at by idiots.

Didn’t recognise him without his Terry Pratchett get-up.

Read the account the Inquiry today, and the man comes across as an arrogant and unrepentant slug. His attitude struck me as contemptuous, and that he was convinced he was blameless, even going as far as thinking himself a victim.
He, like all the others, is a disgusting excuse for a human being. All finger-pointing and pontificating and NO accountability.

He’s looking old.
He is old – and rich.
Legend, a gravy slurping legend.
You have to admire him.
No ya don’t

Leaves an awful bitter taste in the mouth.
