I am happy to contribute to this debate. I thank the Ballyhea campaign, not just as a Teachta Dála but also as a fellow citizen. I also thank everyone who contacted us in the run-up to this debate. They have done a far better service to this country than the elected Members of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Labour Parliamentary Party who are acting contrary to the interests of this country by continuing to maintain the charade of the Anglo Irish Bank promissory notes. The so-called deal means that every red cent of that debt will be paid back by this State.

It is quite shocking that there is no one from Fianna Fail in the Chamber for this debate.
