I was having this discussion with my father today. He reckons that if the bankers are not called to account then Ireland is facing civil unrest.
I'm no great fan of the US, particularly their foreign policy, but I have to say I respect their position regards corporate governance. If you've done bad things then you can expect, at least, to be dragged in front of a parliamentary comission to explain yourself and probably jail if you are proven to have transgressed.
What is it about the Irish psyche which accepts disgraced public officials refusing to resign and allows people who have put the nations future in jeopardy to simply slip away into obscurity with a 'golden parachute' ?
Will the current mess see things change?
