Deputy Brian Lenihan:

I have made it clear I am prepared to make available to the finance committee the entire file of my Department on this matter, take whatever questions the committee wishes to ask me and be accompanied there by my officials. I did a similar presentation to that committee in February or March of the year before last and have no objection to attending the committee - nor has the Taoiseach - to clarify any outstanding questions committee members may have. I want to thank Professor Honohan for the comprehensive nature of his work on the guarantee.
