Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

When I asked this question before, the Taoiseach told the House that the Minister for Finance had drawn his attention to this. I cannot understand why the Taoiseach would not have asked the Minister for Finance what this decision was going to cost. Second, it would appear now from his answer that none of the reluctant seconders to the motion asked about the cost of it at yesterday's parliamentary party meeting.
