Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Prior to agreeing to anything on the Order of Business today, there are a number of matters I would like the Tánaiste to clarify for the House. I understand the annual report of Anglo Irish Bank is to be published tomorrow. We have also been led to believe that the PricewaterhouseCoopers report, or at least a version of it, will be made available tomorrow. Will we be told the names of the ten investors in Anglo Irish Bank in either of the reports to be published tomorrow? What arrangements are being made to make the reports available to Members of the House? Will they be circulated?

Does the Taoiseach intend to make a statement today on the newspaper report this morning that he had a private meeting with the board of Anglo Irish Bank last April? If he does intend to make such a statement, will he do so in the House and answer questions on it?
