Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----that a Bill of this complexity and this range could be dealt with adequately by this Parliament, when our people are expected to fork out over €10 billion in interest every year, due to the carry on and the reckless lending practices of some bankers and some institutions. It is not possible to do it today.

I suggest that we come back here next Tuesday and let us deal with this Bill under some sense of normality and common sense. It will not change the impact of the Bill, but it will at least give the Parliament an opportunity to have a rational debate about something that is very complex, but very serious.
