- “One description of this recent crisis was that it was a systemic misjudgement of risk; that those in significant roles in Ireland, whether public or private, in their own way got it wrong; that it was a misjudgement of risk on such a scale that it lead to the greatest financial failure and ultimate crash in the history of the State.”
Pg 3 Introduction by the Chairman of the Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis.

Do you think that poor risk management was the issue or was there a deeper systematic problem?
