Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Liam Kelleher:

I don't think there is now that level of oversupply. I think that's overstated in that ... in that report. I think for a period there was overbuilding of retail and probably retail park-type construction activity. But that was against a background of a period where many of the British multiples and, you know, furniture companies, DIY companies were moving into ... into Ireland because it was a growing and expanding market. I don't think that there is a significant issue of oversupply with individual exceptions of the type of commercial construction you've itemised there.
