Bankers who broke law will be jailed, pledges Ahern

BANKERS who broke the law to feed their greed will wind up behind bars, Justice Minister Dermot Ahern pledged.

Clearly stung by opposition criticism that the Government wants to protect friends of Fianna Fáil who make up a “gilded elite”, Mr Ahern insisted that no one was above the law.

“No resources or effort will be spared to ensure that anyone who committed crimes and played fast and loose with this country’s financial reputation are pursued relentlessly — until they face the full rigours of the law.
