Martin Mansergh (Tipperary South, Fianna Fail)

He has indicated that if necessary, he may invest more, but that is a decision to be made at that time. No figure was indicated and he declined to speculate.

Deputy O'Donnell raised a question which obscured different questions. He asked about letting the bank fail and whether it was systemically important. That is, potentially, a different question in September 2008, January 2009 and December 2009. Therefore, I do not want to pre-empt any further answers there may be on that subject. The situation has changed, moved on and evolved since September 2008 to a considerable extent.
