People must be brought to book and there must be transparency. However, we must follow a process and we must be fair to all concerned. The notion of name and shame that was proffered in this House last week is, in my view, an absolute sham. Criminal wrongdoing must be punished. It is not just about retribution but about the restoration of the image of Ireland, which has been tarnished by the considerable wrongdoing which has taken place in various financial institutions over a prolonged period. The systematic deception which is now coming to light must be brought to an end and seen to be brought to an end, and the people responsible for it must be punished in an appropriate way.
