Burning question:
Why did Ernst & Young not qualify their Audit Report?
They have audited the accounts since 1970, when Anglo was called City of Dublin Bank.
Surely a half-way competent audit manager would have been able to spot the net cash movements?

When Anglo Irish Sails Away Does The Galway Tent Buy Sandymount Strand With Your Tax Money?

Anglo Irish Bank made a loan of €288 million enabling a consortium to buy the Glass Bottle Factory for €412 million.

The Dublin Developers Digout Autocracy (DDDA) is an ‘investor’ using taxpayer cash; the Developers Autocracy also decides the planning permission, bypassing Bord Pleanala.

Guess who benefited in the form of substantial bonuses, options, revolving doors and other compensation.

And the other bank he used to get the temporary loans from? Irish Nationwide. Well quelle fecking surprise.

And the Financial Regulator knew about this ‘earlier this year’. How much earlier? Last month? Last January? Why the hell was it not immediately brought up?
