Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

I want the Minister to be put on notice that I want to ask about the directors and executives of the banks. I want a comprehensive statement from him about the situation regarding proceedings, particularly in view of the fact that the former managing director of Anglo Irish Bank has taken refuge in the courts of the United States and on what implications this has for any kind of accountability by this gentleman and others, who have been directors or chief executives of banks. What will the Minister do to ensure that this particular individual is made accountable to the Irish system? He has now got refuge in the United States.
