I didn't see it, and the FR has made a lot of mistakes in the way that they regulate the banks especially the Irish Nationwide.
But they have a very difficult balancing act to do. The stability of the banking system is their first priority and it takes precedence over everything else. They can't be too critical of the banks in public in case it causes a loss of confidence. And we don't see what they do in private. For example, if they insist that Michael Fingleton is removed, it will be done quietly and behind the scenes. Fingleton will just go and we won't know whether or not the FR insisted on it.
