Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the reluctance of certain persons to co-operate with the Director of Corporate Enforcement in matters relating to company law and banking procedures and where there are suggestions of failure to comply with statutory requirements in respect of proper fiduciary practice, good governance and the need for due diligence, the existence of possible misfeasance or malfeasance, the need to determine whether such reluctant witnesses can be encouraged to give evidence by way of subpoena or alternative, having particular regard to the magnitude of financial responsibility thrust upon the taxpayer arising from the foregoing and possible reckless trading with a view to ensuring that such practices do not and cannot continue with impunity.
