Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

If we were to have a debate and statements in the House we could have all that information from the Minister for Finance, Deputy Lenihan, who has briefed the Cabinet. However, nobody else in the House knows the conditions and terms that apply to these bilateral loans. It is in everybody's interest that we have a full and thorough discussion about this. It is important for the European project as it goes forward.

I ask again about the other matter, namely, responses to parliamentary questions by elected Deputies.
