Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The truth is that the changes that have been made to the draft legislation are cosmetic. Why else would Fianna Fáil have let the Green Party take any credit? They were designed to get the Green Party through a shaky weekend in Athlone. I remind the Minister, Deputy Gormley, that NAMA is not about 140 Green Party members who turn up at a conference; it is about the 4.2 million people who live in this country.
