Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

It is not agreed in one respect. A question and answer session during which the Minister would be accountable to the House was mooted last week in respect of this subject. Serious issues arise regarding the bank reorganisation and the sustainability of the debts being undertaken and Deputies need to tease out the implications with the Minister. A pre-announcement briefing was not provided for Opposition parties about the implications of the announcement.
