Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Deputy can be assured that this Government will always act in the national interest and will never be afraid to say so. In that regard, the Minister for Finance has taken action in respect of subordinated bondholders. The Deputy will be aware of court actions, some of which are being withdrawn and some are still proceeding. What was not an area in which we could go before now has the capacity to yield substantial funding and savings in respect of burden-sharing. The Minister for Health has completed his analysis of the difficulties in respect of the fair deal scheme and will report to the House tomorrow.
