Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The question of the categories and classes of assets is work that will be undertaken by the national asset management agency upon its establishment. It will work with the banks to see which are the appropriate assets to be taken over. What we had yesterday was a policy announcement. I made this point in the debate last night and I wish to put it clearly to the House once more.
