Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to address the following matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Finance to indicate his and his Department's true intentions towards the proposals prepared jointly over a period of months by Quinn Insurance Limited and Anglo Irish Bank and that offer the prospect of the retention of all existing jobs in Quinn Insurance Limited, Cavan, Enniskillen, Blanchardstown, Navan and elsewhere and that commit to the return in full of the €2.8 billion owed by Mr. Sean Quinn to Anglo Irish Bank, now in State ownership, thereby securing the taxpayers' interest; to ask the Minister if he is prepared to give these proposals the required Government backing and if he will insist on full consideration of these proposals by the administrators before they close their process of assessment?
