Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

If I knew the answer to that, I would be going down to Paddy Power. I do not know what the situation will be in four years. What I do know is that market conditions are not propitious right now and, therefore, we will not be selling anything at the moment. I made that clear on a number of occasions.

We really should not be rewriting history here. I notice that it is now the new mantra of the Deputy's party that they never agreed to sell any State assets. I saw Senator Thomas Byrne from Meath on Sean O'Rourke's programme on Sunday night, and his position was that the Fianna Fáil Government never signed away the State assets. Of course it did.
