I am disappointed with the Minister's reply but I suppose I should not have expected much more. We heard righteous indignation from the other side of the House about burning the bondholders but the Minister now tells us that €15 billion was already burned. I have acknowledged that it was a mistake that I voted for the bank guarantee but the Members opposite have done likewise on a number of occasions since they entered Government.
