Michael Fingleton, former managing director of Irish Nationwide Building Society, will attend the banking inquiry today.
During the bailout €5.4bn of taxpayers’ money was pumped into the financial institution, which ultimately merged with Anglo Irish Bank and was put into liquidation in 2013.
He was paid a €1m bonus in 2008 - two months after the banking guarantee.
Mr Fingleton is expected to cite a consensus among economic experts who said that the Irish economy would have a 'soft landing' as the boom came to an end when explaining the building society's actions.
