    Peter Sutherland was Chair I believe. And he had been on the board of GPA with Fitzgerald. The circle just went round and round.

    Ah, that name again.

    The famous Peter Sutherland, failed politician but massively successful FG acolyte.

    Former AG, former EU Commisioner, Chairman of BP, Chairman of the Vatican Bank, Goldman Sachs. The list of sh1tholes this man has been involved in, is endless.

    Of course there is not a hope that Peter was corrupt, he was just unfortunate enough to be involved in companies where corrupt things happened.

    MPB, thanks for the list of some of the staging posts in Sudsie's career. But I think he can make a valid claim for the title of "The Father of Globalisation" given his Chairmanship of GATT.

    In this report, Sudsie expands on his vision on how globalisation should work
