Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Action has not been taken to sort out this issue. At present, the regulatory authority is carrying out an investigation, although it was itself fundamental to what happened. This is not how it should be. If the Taoiseach is to lead the nation to a point at which there is a restoration of some semblance of credibility and trust, he must take decisive action, which I have outlined in the past few days. We have heard about the manipulation of the assets and deposit base of Anglo Irish Bank. I do not want to impugn the Taoiseach's personal integrity in any way. However, will he confirm when he as Taoiseach and Head of Government knew about the transactions between Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Life & Permanent? On what date did he find out about those transactions?
