Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I am trying to assist the Deputy who, I take it, is referring to senior bondholders in distressed institutions such as Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide where the total amount is substantially less than the figure to which the Deputy refers.

I do not act on the basis of my own legal views, I act on the advice of the Attorney General who is the legal adviser to the Government.
