That is the issue. The Taoiseach did not say what he will do about the levy. He stopped the levy which was at least extracting €100 million. He did not say what the social finance fund means, apart from some general charitable reference that there will be a sizeable amount of money put into it out of the charity of the banks' hearts. This is a wider economic issue and the Taoiseach knows that very well. There is no point playing it for cheap headlines.
