Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

In resuming the debate, my first point is that the Taoiseach's response to Leaders' Questions is a very clear indication of the totally irresponsible decisions made, particularly with regard to the banks' guarantee, which clearly has left the entire country in a state of hock to a zombie bank.

Perhaps the Ceann Comhairle might protect me so that I can continue my contribution.
