Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Yes, I have spoken to all of the Ministers about the importance of this matter. The Deputy said that loose talk costs jobs, which is true. So does lack of truth and transparency. When he had the opportunity - he was less than economical with many of the facts of life. I put this to the Deputy. This Government is in a very different position from the one of which the Deputy was a member because we have taken decisions about the banks.
