Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I welcome the amendment which takes cognisance of the main concerns expressed by the Opposition parties. Deputy Burton who has made a tremendous contribution may have preferred the Minister to outline specifics in the primary legislation but, as I and others stated yesterday, the Bill needs to be passed as a powerful framework as quickly as possible to restore confidence in the financial sector and reassure the ordinary people of Ireland that it is not simply a bailout for the fat cats.
