'They went to have a fantastic day and lost a limb': The week in quotes
“Has somebody lost a limb on that ride?”
IT WAS A week when fears grew over BSE, an injunction on an RTE story about Denis O’Brien was upheld, and the weather was almost something like summer.
All that, and more, it’s the week in quotes:
So, in other words, we know that IBRC sold Siterserv to Denis O’Brien. We know that Denis O’Brien had major loans with IBRC, and its seems that the terms of the loan agreement with IBRC were used by Denis O’Brien to pay down the loan that he received from Bank of Ireland to purchase Siteserv in the first place.
The Dáil heard new claims from Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty on Denis O’Brien’s dealings with IBRC.
Well, what happened in the past is in the past. I’m happy to lead a Government to set out the terms of reference on behalf of the Government with the commission of investigation to do its job. So whether it’s Denis O’Brien or anybody else, the terms of reference are there for the commission of investigation and I expect that they will do their job and do it fully, completely thoroughly, adequately, and very professionally. Those concerns can be allayed properly.
