Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I wish to make a number of comments. Much has been said in the debate. I concur with the comments of the Minister for Finance who described the figures involved as horrifying. The steps the Government has taken and those proposed by the Minister today represent policy of substance in leading our way out of the banking crisis. I have been disappointed by the quality and substance of the response from the Opposition today.
