Anglo dealings with Financial Regulator compared to 'Yes Minister' farce

A witness at the trial of three former Anglo Irish Bank executives has been asked is there a touch of the British comedy 'Yes Minister' in the bank's dealings with the Financial Regulator in 2008.

“Is there a touch of ‘Yes Minister’ going on here?” counsel asked Matt Moran, the bank's ex-chief financial officer, referring to the British 1980s comedy programme.
