Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I assure Deputy Bruton and the House that no agreement has been reached to take over the assets and liabilities in the question. The provisional character of the figures I provided is provisional and I clearly indicated that the figures will have to be revised. An agreement has not been finalised and we will have to be in possession of all the facts before any discussions about an agreement can take place.
