In fairness, a substantive point can be made without naming individuals. Senior bankers lobbied Dublin City Council for planning permission. They helped to drive their banks onto the rocks. I call on the Leader to ask the Minister for Finance to outline the actions the Government intends to take on this matter. This is happening in a year when senior Bank of Ireland executives withdrew €30 million of their own cash from the bank. Where has that money gone? How can we have confidence in them if they lack confidence in their own bank? This has to be stopped.
