    Is he? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23218073

    Perhaps therefore we should grant him immunity from prosecution and ask him to spill the beans on the "politically connected former bankers and politically protected senior pubic servants".

    As he seems to be hard to shift from the US this might be the way to go?

    They can get him on failure to disclose and request he be extradited. My guess is they won't bother, such is the political inertia.

    Yes, in a way. If they offer him something along the Frank Dunlop line it should start a flexing of his vocal chords. But he would have to be careful - top bankers and top Gardaí/politicians are known to be friendly. But what nobody wants is another gravy train for those other vultures legal eagles.

    Yes if the dpp thinks they can get nearer to the bottom of this with his inside help they should come to some sort of arrangement with him,alas like a lot of other scandals that has hit Ireland I don't hold out much hope for anyone to be ever found accountable...

    Sounds like he is a good start not a scapegoat.

    Ireland's criminal elite don't want him home.

    If they did they'd simply cancel his passport.

    How would that bring him home? He could apply for asylum.

    Let him try.

    I'd rather see him struggle like that than continue to live an easy life.

    Drumm is trying to portray himself as a victim too. What a mug.

    Where's the option : Hang him (and the rest of 'them') by the balls after they confess ?
