Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

On a point of order, an amendment of mine has been accepted by the Ceann Comhairle in respect of the publication of bankers' bonuses. My other amendments were not accepted and I ask Deputy Doherty to allow me a moment to point out that amendment No. 4 reads:

In page 7, before section 1, to insert the following new section:

"PART 1

PUBLICATION OF CERTAIN BONUSES

1.—Each credit institution that is participating in the eligible liabilities guarantee scheme shall be required, within 30 days of the passing of this Act, to submit to Dáil Éireann details of the names of all of its officers, employees or contractors to whom bonuses have been paid between 30 September 2008 and the date of passing of this Act, and the amount of the bonuses in each case.".
