Damien English (Meath West, Fine Gael)

This measure will not deal with the issues and problems of the next six months. We could be facing a serious situation come October or November. The crisis is happening this year, not next year. I am concerned it will take too long to establish the proposed National Asset Management Agency. I hope the Tánaiste heeds my concern. There is a perception among the public that officials in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment are asleep on these issues. There are serious problems out there.
