Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We discussed the CRD IV directive during Ireland's Presidency. The directive limits the bonuses paid to bankers, of whom there are also some in Northern Ireland. As I stated, I did not discuss the Prime Minister's view that there should be a referendum on EU membership in Britain. In terms of whether we discussed the financial crisis, I raised the issue with the Prime Minister and we discussed it.

The Deputy asked a second question about Pat Finucane. I did not discuss with the Prime Minister the €3.8 billion loan. The PEACE IV dividend is to deal in part with youth unemployment, for which a specific €6 billion fund has been established. This matter was discussed last week. I did not discuss with the Prime Minister my bilateral arrangement with President Obama.
