Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I want to return to the question of who is covered by the Bill. It is simply not acceptable that we should conclude all Stages of it without receiving an answer from the Minister of State. There seems to be very little point in prosecuting the Anglo Irish Bank amendment. The Government has decided to treat Anglo Irish Bank like the drunken uncle who turns up on St. Stephen's Day, gets at the bottle early and is locked away in the spare room to keep him out of sight of decent relatives.
