Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Taoiseach is aware that my party has a very different view from the Government's on the proposals to deal with the banking crisis, in particular with regard to the National Asset Management Agency or NAMA. Obviously, the confusion that surrounds this is a cause of major concern, particularly when bodies like the IMF say that the difficulty for Government is in determining the extent of the valuation of assets to be acquired. This could have disastrous consequences for taxpayers and the economy generally. Will the Taoiseach clear up this confusion? Given where the Government is in its preparations for NAMA, what is the Government's assessment of the amount of discount to be applied in respect of assets to be acquired by NAMA?
