Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

Let me finish. In all these transactions, the issues raised involving corporate governance were such that I had to advise the Government and Taoiseach, who was abroad at the time, of them. In regard to this issue, I simply left the matter with my colleagues as a general issue of corporate governance and then proceeded with introduction of the Bill on nationalisation in this House. I explained to the House that there were issues of corporate governance at Anglo Irish Bank.
