Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

Question 1: To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the comments made by senior bankers to the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service that the transfer of loans under the National Asset Management Agency would neither reduce the cost of credit nor increase the availability of credit to businesses and persons; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
