Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Regarding the banking system, the people have been asked to buy a pig in a poke. The people have no idea of the risk factors involved; it is like looking into a dark hole. Each and every family has been severely affected by the banking crisis. There is not only merit but an absolute case for ensuring basic information on the governance and activities of the banking institutions is made compulsorily available in the public arena. That is not to disadvantage one against the other; it should apply to them all.
