Silence from Government on death of Sean FitzPatrick tells its own story

No mention of his passing on the floor of Dáil Éireann, despite his name being regularly invoked there in the past

Sean FitzPatrick, who died on Monday night, became a figure of controversy in political circles following the collapse of Anglo Irish Bank and the State Bank Guarantee in 2008.

Government departments did not offer any comment in relation to the death of Sean FitzPatrick at the age of 73.  

The silence from the political establishment to the sudden death of the former chief executive and chairman of Anglo Irish Bank told its own story.
