Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Fianna Fáil has forced the Green Party to adopt its economic strategy of cutting wages and writing blank cheques for banks. I understand that the Government proposes to invest up to €6 billion of taxpayers' money in the dead bank that is Anglo Irish Bank to pay off bond speculators and investors. There is an alternative. The Government can put that money into a stimulus package or it can break up Anglo Irish Bank into a good bank-bad bank, a concept put forward by Fine Gael more than 12 months ago.
