Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

We passed the Bill and the Government needs to do something about this. Businesses are starved of credit and I was told by businessmen face to face that bank managers have said to them, "I will not even lodge the application for you". That is absolutely scandalous at a time they want to put their money where their mouths are in the middle of a recession, follow through on their initiatives, retain jobs and create new ones. The Tánaiste's portfolio is critical. What does the Government intend to do about yesterday's admission at the committee?
