Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

That is not the impression I received.

The issue, then, is that we have commitments to increase capacity by 30% and 10% and that is not happening. Since this has been the Minister's central concern throughout the whole banking crisis, does he now believe that specialist negotiations with the banks to deliver certain types of package are needed? Within what timeframe will Government deal with that? What was the outcome of the April report from AIB and Bank of Ireland, which he has had for two and a half months? Was any action taken on foot of that report, which, no doubt, showed similar trends?
