Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Ba mhaith le Sinn Féin leasú a mholadh ar Riar na hOibre, sé sin díospóireacht a ligint ar an rún seo roimh meán lae inniu. Sinn Féin wishes to seek an amendment to today's Order of Business to allow a debate on the motion which we circulated earlier today. It states that this Dáil opposes the hand-over of €700 million of taxpayers' money by Anglo Irish Bank, or the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, to an unguaranteed, unsecured senior bondholder, and that the Government instruct the Anglo Irish Bank chairperson, Mr. Alan Dukes, to withhold this payment which is due to be paid today. That would need to be taken, with your permission, a Cheann Chomhairle, before 12 o'clock.
