Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I hope to give a comprehensive reply to what, in substance, has been a second, Second Stage debate on this Bill. Some moments ago I was asked about the assets position by Deputy Tom Kitt and I have here the National Treasury Management Agency estimate. This states that the guaranteed liabilities of the relevant banking institutions are estimated to be €440 billion and the assets are estimated at €520 billion.
